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!

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.

[@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.

[@nemirify]

Excellent presentation!

[@torozco7]

perfecto. Muchisima gracias por tu ayuda!

[@jaws21015]

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

[@GospelProgressionsUniversity]

excelente. Great work

[@laurahernando5389]

Superb teacher!

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

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

[@manoreina1]

Excellent, bravo!

[@doyouneedalittlebag]

I like to handle the catá differently, not that this method is no good, but you can handle it in such a way that the right hand is doing the clave. This means that you can then use the same pattern on, say block and bell, and one hand will always be doing the clave. It's like dis: R-LR-L-RL-R-RL-L

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Yes, you can play it in this way too. I've seen it (not in Cuba) before. I think in one of the many rumba videos I posted I explained it in this way too, with the clave in the strong hand. The pattern I showed in this video is the traditional way that my Cuban teacher showed me.

[@doyouneedalittlebag]

@@MichaeldeMiranda Maybe the traditional way fits better in rumba columbia?

[@reynaldoziems1365]

Excellent explanation Thanks.Very Good Video. It explains the different parts of the guaguanco . Finally, Could you post VIDEO or link that explains where each slap and tone pf the 3-2 falls in the 1+ 2+3+4+1+2+3+4+ count Thanks . you're great . I learned a lot

[@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 :)

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Thank you, John!

[@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.

[@METODODELCUADRODELCASINO]

buen trabajo!

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Muchas gracias!

[@brendaboykin3281]

Thanx, Maestro.

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Thanks!!

[@RuggeroArtaleDrums]

Thank you Michael!

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

You're welcome!!

[@RuggeroArtaleDrums]

Thank you!!

[@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]

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]

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......

[@NormanHarrisII]

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

[@jeanluccayla]

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

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Muchas gracias!!

[@KeyHedera]

super! Great again))

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

@KeyHedera Thanks, Kate!!

[@zarapico]

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

[@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 ,

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Your welcome and enjoy the video's!!

[@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!

[@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.

[@acere58]

Muy bien hecho acere. Ache

[@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.

[@Juanlove2009]

Nice Master

[@marcusdekker]

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

[@sam33882]

Thank you very much for your nice lessons

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Your welcome! Enjoy the video's!

[@b0fjk80]

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

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

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

[@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

[@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

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

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

[@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.

you sound dutch! :O
