How To Do A Tata Guínes Combination

IT'S TUTORIAL THURSDAYS!!!
Sooooo Tata!!!
There are a handful of congueros that you can always talk about and need to always have in every conversation when it comes to the evolution of Conga Drumming... And Tata Guines is one in that handful.
This combination is one he would always do and is one of my favorites.... It's also an important exercise to help you develop your weaker hand.

As an aspiring teenage conga player in New York in the 1960s I was completely blown away when my friend Tito put an album titled "Cachao and His Afro Cuban All Stars" on the player and Descarga Cubana began with that terrific Lopez double bass lick. Then Tata Guines began his intro solo. Up until then I'd only heard Candido and Mongo and a few others. Tata Guines' solos were completely different . Had to have that record so I bought one the next day. Also learned what "descarga meant". Long story short, in a few years I stopped playing drums and began earning a living, but I believe "once a drummer, always a drummer" so when the music is playing I'm always listening to how the drums fit in. I admire your work.

[@EBEFRANK]

Great tutorial.....Keep it going Eric.....Thanks

[@APercussionLife]

Thanks Frankie!

[@milkman4eva]

Before the was Changuito, Giovanni, El Panga, Papiosco, or anyone star Conguero we can think of, first came Tata Guines! Tata was one of the first to develop real technique on the Conga before it was a thing. Good work on exposing the masses to these masters 🙌🏽

[@davidcastelli7893]

Well said. I was about to say something like that and then I figured lets review the comments and you nailed it. There is a reason why all those guys on that list all say Tata Guines was their influence. And do not forget the late great Anga, Miguel Anga Diaz. Whom also credits Tata Guines, in fact it was reading about Anga Diaz that made me look into Tata Guines. Thank you for your post.

[@danbuskell5940]

nice. Big up from London U.K. GREAT tutorials, Thanks

[@cifuenteslawyers3974]

[@borcamp62]

Tremenda clase Eric.Megusta mucho que estes explicando y volviendo accesible la forma de tocar de los grandes maestros, algo que casi nadie esta haciendo y en ese sentido eres un innovador en la red.Ojala y sigas publicando estas combinaciones y tecnicas de los grandes maestros como anga .giovanni,y tata.gracias por hacer este material accesible a nosotros los percusionistas que tocamos por hobby y no tenemos tiempo de sentarnos horas tratando de decifrar estos adornos y elementos de improvisacion

[@ivanlisboa6209]

Saludos, AWESOME *****5 star combination. Thank you.Lol.

[@APercussionLife]

[@APercussionLife]

Thank you!!!

[@alainhoarau3213]

Super this one - Merci

[@APercussionLife]

Alain Hoarau thank you!

[@edgarortiz7255]

I can clearly see your progression as a conguero as you continue your journey . I am grateful that you are sharing it with us . Also ,I appreciate that you are still using the original skins . I think it is important to focus on developing skill and technique .Buy new skins when necessary . Spending money on upgrades will not make you a better musician . Save your money and make an investment in practice time for the best results .Again , keep em coming !.

[@MrDoudou972]

Good...funny tutorial 😁👍

[@johnwerner3714]

[@omerozturk8250]

[@u88370]

[@bongosabroso]

The SECRET SAUUUUSE!!!! WOOOOOO.. UUUUUZING

[@crazylegs882]

Random question brotha but do you by chance do one on one video lesions for a small fee lol? Jus wondering because sometimes it hard to keep pausing to pick up on something I fill I miss key parts or movements or jus not keeping up good ha ha ha I slow very new at this I ha e been wonting to learn for a long time finally able to. Hope u have a blessed day my brotha one love.

[@adrianlunn6449]

Any chance you could play the pattern going in and out of regular tumbao ( with clave)

[@SS-nv6ih]

👍👍

[@jeandrehessen630]

where did you get those skins that you use on the quinto?

[@josegabrielvalle7394]

Does this work over both claves? Or just 3-2? It works better over 3-2 but can it be both?

[@ronrico101]

What’s the tinning on the congas

[@tanmoybanerjee4922]

In Ur earlier Tata Guines Video, what does Giovani Hidalgo says in Spanish about Tata?

[@APercussionLife]

Tanmoy Banerjee “That is Tata”

[@tanmoybanerjee4922]

Hehe!🤣 Thanks Eric Sir! Have a Great Sunday! Will be waiting till Tomorrow for Ur/My next Tutorial!

[@garman1966]

I wish there was a way on your videos to hear you just play the piece so I can hear it, see it, and practice it quickly, so I don't have to go through all the breaking down and talking parts. I like that you seem to usually play the piece right after the add, but here you only play like one measure slowed down! Please play for longer at slower speed so I can get this without having to watch for 15 minutes! I love that you spend time to explain the person and history involved too, but I want to be able to practice from your vids more easily, and I can pick it up just by watching it.

[@AdamRek]

Hi Eric, I'm just wondering about your ring - isn't it destroying your heads? Thanks man.

[@APercussionLife]

Hey Adam... it’s actually an athletic silicon ring... so it doesn’t cause any damage to myself or the head... kinda nice.

Love your Instagram to!! Mines is @thelittledrummer

el fikty....

[@williebruno6367]

Saludos hermano. Would appreciate if you can do a video covering the technique of Latin Jazz master Jerry Gonzalez. He recently passed on October 1st. He and his brother bassist Andy Gonzalez are big contributors to the latin jazz idiom for the past 50 something years and have performed with the greats like Dizzy Gillespie, Tito Puente, Eddie Palmieri etc. Jerry's style was pretty unique so I would be intrigue to see/hear your take. Thanks maestro. Keep doing your thing it's all love. Ciao!

[@piedadmartinez1290]

Ablas mucho y aburres se mas practico gracias
