Intermediate Cuban Salsa Steps Course - Class 11 ("Elegua basic")

[@AmericanPTstuttgart]

I loved the simple breakdown of the basic movements. The chest movement, understanding of the count, and coordination of how and WHAT to put together is so important. One of those things is missing and we look like idiots. The problem is often the small details are overlooked and not taught/shown as they should be. Thanks for the great break down and I am more than happy to be the first to comment on this video :-D

Thanks for the great video! You mention that elegua is the a common rhythm in timba music - could you tell me some songs where this rhythm can be heard?

[@LaSuerteDanceSchool]

Sure. One of the guys, that you could see on our videos (Dave) made this list: Elegua - Nic & N'taya 3:24 - 3:40 - to end "elegua ago ana" Somos hermanos - El Zorro 3:25 "elegua elegua" Con Elegua y Orula - El Nino 4:35 "che ba che ba" Bembelegua - Jovenes clasicos del son 5:00 "so sa so kere" Despojate con Eleggua - Los conquistadores de la salsa 1:15 - 2:00 - "elegua asokere" and 2:40 "barasuwayo" Cubano soy - Miguel Enriquez Intro and Outro chachalokafun with "asokere kere meye" Quitandome lo malo - Maykel Blanco 3:50 - 4:00 quotes "elegua asokere kere meye" melody with differentn words Papa Elegua (new version) - Elito Reve 1:44 - 2:10 "Ojimini ea aladonise", 2:35 to end many elegua references including "so sa so kere" and "barasuwayo", iyesa toque outro It's a strange notation, I hope it will help you.
