When I went to Cuba to study Rumba 25 years ago the idea of playing 6 on top of 4 was incomprehensible. I later understood the concept and can do basic phrases but I still suck at it. This is a very complicated and intricate art form and almost impossible for the casual listener to understand. These guys are masters.

[@theophilussparks5839]

That is true ,, It's intricate but not impossible to understand. Syncopation is the trickiest and hardest to master. Unlike the R&B and Salsa rhythms , these rhythms a have structure which doesn't natural at first but it really is. It's taken me over 15 years just to understand how vital all the parts are in relation to each other.

[@Jaburu]

noone counts in south america. you just play along until you get the feel for it. must be confusing af to bring this into a count. just feel it

[@arthurraleigh5812]

@@Jaburu just feel it 🤣🤣🤣 Sure that'll help lol Maybe tell him its 16th note triplets, to start? And yes, people can count in South America. The too, have math and music class

[@Jaburu]

@@arthurraleigh5812 judging by your name you should understand my sentence. noone learns rythms here by counting. the guy said he counted for 15 years to get it right, while 15 years old learn rythms in 15 days here by listening. rythm is a melody. like any melody it will burn into your brain if you hear it often enough

[@orlandoobligacion9364]

6 over 4 becomes easy as walking . In fact I learned it by playing g it as I was walking...😅

[@derbeno]

Columbia is the one of most complex form of Afro Cuban rumba..the Conga and Tumbadora stay generally in 6/8 whilst the quinto flirts in and out of straight duple feel to 6/8 and sometimes somewhere in between. To the unaccustomed ear he may appear out. It there was a dance it would makes more sense whats going on. These are 3 most highly accomplished exponents of this art.

[@user-cn3nr1zd3c]

Moperc congas realy gooood sound!!!

[@jccuban1]

maybe because I grow up listening this kind of music '' Columbia'' it's easier for me to see the diference between what he plays and the djembe style. probably those who get confused don't have a clear understanding of afro-cuban music. There maybe some similarities becauses the roots of these rhythms come from west-africa, but still it's obviously different. just to make it clear, people don't learn ( esa manana ) on schools..you haters don't even know who those guy are neither what they play..

[@Drumaxish]

love how the Conga and the Tumba player are having fun joking over phrases, while the Quinto Player just loses it completely from the very beginning. What a great madness..

[@portariavitoriacolonial7641]

Para mim son Los mejores

[@OldStudentNS]

These guys right here! Wow!

[@gn543]

Candela si señor,,,que bien,,

[@neryaguilar3598]

As an American Cuban born for me it works by feeling, l play to this actually easier than l played drums to a James Brown song, and l fell in love with the J.B. drum beat in the sixties, l guess what works for me is the fact that the afroCuban came with me when we left Cuba, so its different for everyone, l do believe that it can be understood with proper training and practice, virtuosity may not be for all because the most integrating component is the birth attachment. Just my opinion.

[@Wierzbnik]

One love drums 😉

[@markbra]

No, its not"off",its called displaced. you might understand it one day, if your lucky. Sorry if this sounds rude.

[@TheMastercongaman]

La Columbia no es pa cualquiera

[@thirdborn56]

i have a set of mopercs, custom cubano series, quinto, conga, tumba and they look and sound fantastic. michel is a great guy and will bend over backwards to see you get the right drums for you. i highly recommend them.

[@jonnyhatter35]

he's not off. It might sound like that, but that's 'cause the quinto is allowed a lot of freedom in the rhythm, unlike the other two drums which can do flourishes but must still keep the integrity of the rhythm

[@olimpoortega2662]

Candela!!

[@teiaperigosa]

look at the video in this series called RUmba Guaguanco....dude with the blue shirt on Quinto....sometimes LESS is MORE...he is clearly the more experienced player...I'd go so far as to say...GREAT...every touch is TIMELY placed!!!

[@aliriocardozo8800]

Bien bueno este rismo, ni hablar de las congas moperc suenan limpias

[@freeobo85261]

Cuba is a small Island with an incredibly large musical genres, the mixture of Spain's flamenco,with so many different African tribes, results of the days of slavery can be confusing for anyone who was not born from this mix. I was born in Cuba in 1955, left to the US in 1966, did not listen to this type of music up until 2005, I immediately fell in the rhythm cause I was born from it. I read one comment down below in which the commentator is saying that the quinto is off, this is the result of hearing a musical genre unknown to you from the soul, because you were not born there.

[@MegaMatojo]

Where you got it from Cuba is small Island"? Do you even know that Cuba isn't "an island" but few of them?

[@EarlSundance]

well said!

[@teiaperigosa]

I like your explanation...to my ear he is 'off', but perhaps if there were dancers I could see where the conversation between them might be relevant. I stand corrected, because honestly...I don't know this style

[@migueltrujillo5932]

No, not to my ear he skip a beat here, I thought he was a little repeat.

[@dljkson]

nice playing. did you polish the hardware on that Moperc?

[@SuperFrogrider]

一人一本が本来の伝統的なコンガのプレイスタイルらしいね 一緒に混ざりたい

[@Jaburu]

you can tell me what you want, the quinto wasn't feeling it until 2:06 when he started to listen to the other 2. he seamed nervous in the beginning and tried to show off badly

[@roro20681]

sabes el patron que lleva el quinto en la comunbia??

[@danamaguire7871]

it looked like cow to me but the sound was so exquisite. it sounded a little like mule to me.

[@michelouellet2818]

+Dana Maguire We use only cow skins Dana. I work with a tannery for more than 20 years to get this quality. Thanks for these kind words. Michel Ouellet MOPERC

[@3dounounba]

what kind of skin is on the quinto?

[@franafrokan]

this is cow skin

[@edgarkezada96]

pura sabrosura

[@teiaperigosa]

okay...thanks...learning...excuse my arrogance

[@OneDrumBum]

I agree, although he is a GREAT player It seems he is not even trying to lock in, and as another person mentioned he is playing djembe style all the way. Not that that matters, but... Then again what do I know?

[@markbra]

Oye mi quinto, bonko! Don`t try this at home or, anywhere else for that matter !

[@franafrokan]

[@mistermrmark]

cool performance. the quinto is playing more djembe style, but it's an interesting contrast to the other two, who are locked in tight.

[@Jcauto-t4r]

🇨🇺 lo demás es cáscara

[@vxla]

uh no, that's just a solid quintero

[@MrMyz123]

They shrunk john Jones and put him on quinto

[@teiaperigosa]

the quinto need to fit in and find its place...

[@MrVegasTube]

the quinto does not necessarily blend the patterns well to arrive at a harmonic coherence with the other drums. It seems it is all attack only and seems to disregard integration of subtle, patient, stroke patterns that add interest and taste or flavors. Just my constructive opinion.

[@MrRicholive]

not your production conga for sure......

[@MrRicholive]

what I'm hearing is congas that are built with the highest craftsmanship.. they sound like no others......

[@MrRicholive]

and I am thinking the players with notoriety that indorse the well know brands must be drulling hearing Moperc.....what a sound!

[@teiaperigosa]

he is very skilled, but is not a GREAT player....he is off
