Rumba guaguanco Havanna style Tutorial by Michael de Miranda

[@richardbonomo8623]

Finally. Clear and relatively simplified approach to Havana style. Had no idea when the tres comes in on the clave. THANKS 👍

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

You're welcome, Richard. Enjoy it!

[@abrildiez55]

Hola de nuevo yo... este video me está sirviendo mucho para mi clase de taller en la academia Luis A. Calvo de Bogotá donde estudio y en clase de músicas latino-americanas, estamos viendo este ritmo, por lo que es de gran ayuda para mi en estos momentos... Gracias de nuevo...

[@rrbearcat]

I learned the cata rhythm you are playing when I visited the Munequitos de Matanzas in Cuba this month. They said it was the cata for Yambu. They taught me a different rhythm for guaguanco.

[@chinopons7111]

Amazing your lesson , I tried to find someone in a esay way to understand. I didn't find someone to teach like you. Thank you very good brother

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

You're welcome, Chino. I am glad I could help and I wish you good luck!

[@KwandoRay]

[@chrissmith8925]

Excellent work! A very clear breakdown of the different parts, I really enjoyed this.

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Thank you very much, Chris!

[@borcamp62]

Very neatly explained so everybody can understand and play.Thank you Michael .keep posting

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Thank you very much! I hope to post new videos next year!

[@twerpantine]

Because if you listen to the Cata part of the rhythm you will find if you say to yourself " i like potatoes,i dont like sugar" it fits and is a good way of remembering it. i learnt this from a cuban percussionist.

[@dador73]

[@jaws21015]

Thank you Michael. Very clear explanation. As always the quality is excellent. I like your Cata instrument... it looks primitive but authentic!

[@mitotianiMartin]

Hi Michael, I have just watched this amazing video! It helped me a lot, I finally start to understand it. Best guaguanco tutorial ever! You really are great teacher and percussionist. Thank you for sharing :)

[@laurahernando5389]

Superb teacher!

[@nemirify]

Excellent presentation!

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

I have seen it played like this too and perhaps it is traditional too. My teacher, Justo Pelladito, taught it to me the I show it in this video. So, I'm sure about my pattern and hand setting.

[@MsDo2011]

I really like the way you teach ! You made it easy for anyone ! Thanks a lot , also you mentioned that you gonna do another tutorial about how to play solo , can you send the link please if you did perform that already ,

[@Pimpmania]

Michael...Thank you for a great tutorial. My biggest problem and mental block is the pattern with left and right. I am right handed but do some things as a natural lefty.

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Muchas gracias!! Saludos desde Hollanda!!

[@torozco7]

perfecto. Muchisima gracias por tu ayuda!

[@manoreina1]

Excellent, bravo!

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Thanks! I was born on Aruba and I grew up in Holland.

[@NormanHarrisII]

Excellent! Perhaps also at some point post the notation for the quinto parts and solo? Respect!

[@GospelProgressionsUniversity]

excelente. Great work

[@bmeistergeneral]

Another superb video. I was wondering why you use the hand combination you do for the cata? I would have thought that going hand to hand or doing right hand on beat and left hand off beat would be more straight forward. Also, interesting that this is the same as the cascara from salsa.

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Thanks Bernard! About the cata, this is the way that my teacher, Justo Pelladito, explained it to me. But I've seen this same pattern also played with the right hand playing the rumba clave pattern and the other notes with the left hand. So, I think there are many more possibilities.

[@marcusdekker]

Awesome tutorial, thank you so much. Any chance seeing you reform here in Holland?

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

I have had students with this same problem. Some patterns they played right handed and other rhythms left handed, but they sometimes forgot which rhythm to play with the right or left hand......

[@METODODELCUADRODELCASINO]

buen trabajo!

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Muchas gracias!

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Yes, they are from Cuba. I don't think they make them anymore, because they used to get their wood from Angola. But this stopped about 20 years ago....

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

@KeyHedera Thanks, Kate!!

[@jeanluccayla]

Very interesting and very Professional . Fé-li-ci-ta-tions :))

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Muchas gracias!!

[@zarapico]

Yes please, tutorial on Quinto! Thank you very much in advance.

[@brendaboykin3281]

Thanx, Maestro.

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Thanks!!

[@b0fjk80]

They look like some custom made congas here from the US. Mine look different but they are a set from master conga maker Jay Bereck from Skin on Skins. If you haven't heard of him...Google him. :) Anyway, your congas sound amazing and look beautiful! And your videos are very well made....thanks for sharing.

[@solomongrundy6806]

Hi Michael, maybe others have pointed this question out but when you explain the Salidor beats you said that after the palm finger comes a slap, however, when you demo it, it seems like you are doing a touch hit. Is this correct or just a product of my imagination?. And if is not, are those hits interchangeable? Bedankt!

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Well, it is more then a fingertip, but certainly not a dominant slap. The melody is made by the open tones and I wouldn't play the slaps too loud...

[@solomongrundy6806]

@@MichaeldeMiranda Thank you very much!

[@b0fjk80]

Those are beautiful looking congas...what do you have???

[@RuggeroArtaleDrums]

Thank you Michael!

Your welcome and enjoy the video's!!

[@acere58]

Muy bien hecho acere. Ache

[@thomascarmichael1854]

Your tutorials are great. I have read about Guaguanco played "against the clave." Could you illustrate this technique? I read about it, but it never seems concrete to me. Thanks

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

+Thomas Carmichael The Cuban style of guaguanco (Havanna style) is always against the clave. They mean that the melody of the conga's is not going along with the melody of the clave. This lesson you just saw is an example where the tres golpe is not going with the clave. You can also watch this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWeWpaZ9h7lgiKc

[@Juanlove2009]

Nice Master

[@sam33882]

Thank you very much for your nice lessons

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Your welcome! Enjoy the video's!

[@331paradiddle]

Hi Michael. I have seen the cata pattern written R LR L R L R R LL in tutorials on the internet. They are showing the right hand as following the 3-2 rumba clave. Can you clarify for me please. I just want to learn to play this music keeping the tradition. Thanks so much

[@KeyHedera]

super! Great again))

[@MadininaFree]

what do you call 'salidor' is this a tumba ?thank you

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

+MadininaFree In rumba they often call the tumba: salidor. The conga is called tres golpe and quinto remains the same. In Bantu rhythms the tumba is often called caja. So there are different names for the same drum.

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

The quinto will come, but be patient....

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

The congas I use are from Cuba. They stopped making these congas.....
