Congo Player Smoke From (NEG) "North East Groovers Band" Smacking the Skinz @ Their Reunion in 2005

[@andrebias6182]

I've been watching this same clip over and over and over....... for years

[@aidenwilliam458]

@Ty Diego Yup, have been using Flixzone for since november myself :D

[@clee923]

Me too 😆 🤣

[@nhdyz]

This video was my first introduction to GoGo

[@earlthomas9683]

Smoke should be listed as one of the best congo players in the world, I mean even outside of GO GO music ...

[@KUROSHURA]

What other Percussion style do you have to compare against? Our Percussions are quite unique.

[@earlthomas9683]

@@KUROSHURA it was a time when you couldn't compare Jimi Hendrix style on the Guitar that's what's makes people like that so great they have their own unique style. Smoke could play all the unique style of the traditional congo playing. But I bet they can't play his.( my opinion)..

[@mixilugo9170]

Facts!! Hands Down !!

[@michaelhatcher5264]

Agreed myfriend

[@earlthomas9683]

@@KUROSHURA they need to bring Smoke out of the shadows and into the light.. like Jimi did...

[@metro121000]

I am from New Jersey and I have never seen this conga player but he is amazing. I play congas also, but not like that. I need to practice. Great playing.

[@JSoPhisticateD]

You can see him consistently in DC. I seen him play at a Museum. Because I do African dance I had to make myself sit down😅. That Beat was about to get me snatched and put out😅.

[@scottrayford871]

Yeah man. I'm a drummer from New Orleans. The percussion scene is really strong down here as well. But when I heard Smoke play, I was like WTF!! Bruh the way he puts his rythem patterns together, as well as his syncopation is by far the best I've ever heard. You can even hear him busting out a few rudiments. Good job smoke😎! I'm a huge fan. Keep the videos coming !

[@scottrayford871]

The triplets, the flams, the guy on the drum set is killing it. So funky! Great job guys!

[@ishamabunting3837]

I'm a NC cat but been listening to North East since 92. In my opinion their crank is the livest!!! Smoke and Jeff was like oil and vinegar! !!

[@josephhunter1959]

This classic never gets old man!!

[@EZIEKIEL26]

I current live in Cali(15yrs), but the spirit of DC always brings me back to a crankin ass Smoke solo. #NEG #PleaseMySoul

[@ThEDIPPA1]

Mann I love this pocket! Been coming back to listen to this for years!. EVERY time I ask WHY did they end the video during the coldest pocket ever!!

[@michaelyette7513]

For real I know.

[@Yeosh]

Can’t get enough of Jeff talk in to the crowd in the middle of drumming like that rock star Jeff the best

[@trenillo]

This joint was crank'n, but I wish he wouldn't have stopped Smoke in the beginning, because Smoke seem like he was about to go on another level that we hadn't seen before.

[@joshpittman8235]

There's a lot of footage of him on another level

[@smoothpants]

He gotta tell him to "Saddle up!"

[@WilliFlow117]

For people whom don't get Go Go,its all about the vibes,that live sound of the drums and its rthymn.Rthymn is in all people.Once used as a form of communication,but now used as entertainment.Anyone that had a taste of live drums and percussions in rthymn knows it will stop them in their tracks.The drums will be calling,makes you want to listen.Guess what? Race has nothing to do with it,it affects all people.But never forget its origins is from the Mother Land of Africa.Go Go often reminds me of that!
