Finally an English tutorial on maracas where the instructor actually slows down and explains each and every motion. Thanks a lot! I wish there were full series on different maracas and all major rhythms.. I bought Meinl MSM3 elongated maracas (ironically called "the traditional"), and gosh they are hard to stop precisely, because of the very little filling (5-10%) made of very small grains. Even the simplest motion is not simple and sends grains all over the place. Quick crisp hard stops with no reverb is a trial, I am not mentioning doubles. Never imagined such a simple instrument will infuriate me so much, haha. I am considering LP percussion maracas, they seem to have more filling of coarser material. I will keep trying with these for a while though

I got myself a pair of Maracas, arrived today and then I started looking for how to use them and found this video. Mine are the standard types, the ones with green and red a black palm tree. I've tried following your advice in here and had such fun, but now my arms are hurting :-) . Still, I will carry on. It's amazing that, ones you found the right rhythm, the whole body just joins in. It's the most fun work-out I've ever done. I'm end 50, by the way, and never learned an instrument. Starting with Maracas is great for late beginners, I think :-)

Great video! I don't know about the LP plastic maracas, but I bought some very similar Mienls. The giant plastic chunks inside these made them deafening, shrill and awful ... but a trip to the dollar store and some vase gravel to replace that give a much better sound and also a nice heft and response.

Thank you very much for the wonderful video. it is very inspiring to learn Cuban songs. I am Russian-speaking, and unfortunately I do not know Spanish well yet, but I really like Cuban music, I became interested in it after I got acquainted with the songs of the Post-Soviet ensemble "Grenada". Thanks to the fact that the video in English made it much more accessible and understandable for me, since for our region you have to know at least a little English, so I think it helps to popularize Cuban music, not only for those who know Spanish and this is very important for then to start learning it! Now I can try to learn such a song under maracas, and sing it to my friends, inspiring them to be interested in the same. Thank you very much for the passionate and good lesson, and it would be great to have more such great lessons!

Ese percusionista Venezolano se llamaba Pablo Landaeta alias pan con queso hoy su hijo sigue esa tradicion originalmente las primeras maracas de cuero que el fabrico fue para la guaracha y posteriormente para la salsa, pero ya habia inventado el bongo de tres llaves a partir del bongo cubano, este bongo de 3 llaves es el bongo que todos conocemos hoy en todas las orquestas y no se trata de otra cosa que poder afinar de manera rapida y efectiva un bongo.

Great performance!! One of the often underestimated instruments... Yesterday I bought my first maracas! They got fine seeds inside so they sizzle much more. Very different sound to what you have. I think the rough ones are more precise. I´ve got two different tones what I like very much. Thanks for the inspiring lesson!

Great video. Just bought my first pair of maracas and followed your advice on using the left hand for the constant beat, using the right hand for the "interesting" flourishes. It will take some practice, and will be a bit different from playing a snare drum. Thanks for providing the basics. Looks like I have some work to do before I have to play in one week for my concert band event. I will play the maracas for Leroy Anderson's "Serenata," which is basically a beguine. Should be fun!

Those green maracas sound great...and I also own those Made in China red plastic maracas that I actually prefered over Lp plastic model because of the filler material being less bulky / heavy. Still...I like to disassemble them and experiment with filler materials and tune my maracas. The Maracas I played from Venezuela & Colombia have always been my favorite...since they are probably most used and with a longer tradition than even in the Cuban etc music genres that recieve maracas tradition from Venezuela is what I am told.

Excellent video - probably the best explanation and demonstration of maracas I've seen here. I'm a piano player and teach a latin music workshop in London, and I'm always looking for material to share with students. Maracas appear deceptively simple, but playing them well IN TIME is areal art, as I try to explain when someone picks them up and starts trashing a tune! Thanks very much Edgardo, and hope you post more videos like this.
