Rhythms of Haiti - Congo tutorial with Jeff Pierre

[@skimanization]

I"ve heard congas from Brazil and Congo but I was always most impressed by the Haitian ones in the context of Vodun. Jeff is a brilliant teacher. Thanks.

@@JeffPierreMusic Hi Jeff, Akili here.... have you done a tutorial on Petwo, Banda, or Maskawon? I really appreciate the ones I've seen. Thanks!

[@Domsta333]

I do get a barravento feel from this. Barravento is a rhythm from Candomble, specifically, the Angola nation. So from that part of Africa too.

Mesi !

[@DPJFAUG]

Man! you are out of this world. You make it sounds so good. I am learning following your lessons. My conga drum does not sound as nice as yours. Please advise where to buy Haitian conga drums. They have a unique sound and natural feel. I love the ruggedness of the skin. Such a work of art

[@lizziestmeranp.5045]

Bèl travay frè'anm.

[@jp410]

I've been working on that slap with the hammer stick for years... very slow progress. I love when it's super sharp, almost like the crack of a whip or even a gunshot sound. Not easy, at least for me. Thank you for your videos.

[@Viaital]

Mesi 🌴🌴🌴

[@bryanrosado6757]

You should make some videos using the djembe in the back.

[@nagomizik9358]

Superb Lesson bro!! Ayibobo...

[@stanleysbaptiste6233]

BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@udkline]

Really nice breakdowns! I'll have to check out more of this drumming now that I know how to listen to it. And thank you for providing this information. I think Haiti gets so overlooked musically. A LOT of Caribbean countries get overlooked, but Haiti's influence on all of the others make it something of a crime that there aren't more sources of info out there. Thanks for sharing your tradition :)

[@JeffPierreMusic]

Thank you.. I'm happy you enjoyed it 🙂

[@underdogelectronicmusicsch2275]

This is just beyond wonderful.

[@sk8tb1]

What songs can I hear with the closh rhythm ?? Thank you

[@dreadmanlv6700]

Yes!

[@JeffreyGreenbergTechArt]

Super good!

[@JeffPierreMusic]

Thank you 🙏

[@JoachimHorsley]

Very cool!!! Great rhythm :)

[@JeffPierreMusic]

Thank you brother

[@GrootsieTheDog]

This is great! So many of the conga tutorials are from the Latin Jazz perspective. I got into conga drums because I heard Micky Harts Planet Drum and was immediately drawn to the African rhythms.

[@doyouknowhim2237]

This is Haitian Rythtm

[@martinahejdencova1321]

Hi, Very great! What Is the name of metal instrument left up?

[@JeffPierreMusic]

It's a bell :)

[@artsandadventures21]

What type of drum do you use for the mitam

[@alexdejesus62]

Similar to Merengue pattern Dominican?

[@JessJayEel]

Haitian and Dominican is sister cultures. It is just that Haiti is more African centered

[@bakharandi]

@@JessJayEel Yes Ma'am ! This Congo riddim is also very much like "Sinte" from the Nalu people in Guinea, . . . other Kompa and Merengue stylings are are very similar to "Djole" from the Temne people in Guinea . . . I Love how the chicken, rice, and sauce is cooked so similarly, and uniquely in each region. Labodayi is also very close to Makru . . . I Love the Haitian sound and flavour ! (-;

[@doyouknowhim2237]

No it’s not similar stop

[@mariablanc4632]

Where do we buy a drum

[@JeffPierreMusic]

Haitian Drum?

[@bricepamphilebouesso9506]

Ngoma za Congo (tom-tom of Congo)

[@luxtwice1840]

hi would you say that most haitian percussions rhythms are played in 4/4 ?

[@JeffPierreMusic]

We have other time signatures too but yes a lot of them are played in 4/4 and 6/8

[@nate_reatcz]

Hey man, we should play sometimes frfr

[@bmuhamad]

Muted and semi muted slap with stick on the Manman rhythm...within the Congo pattern.
