Samba Grooves

Brazilian grooves played by Jose Cortijo

[@prof.t.c.pfeiler1280]

Beautiful! No endless bla bla - just playin´ and groovin´!

[@vwrivera]

I don't usually pitch in and make comments on these vidreos but to those who say this is not Samba I say this: These are conga drums and not traditional percussion instruments traditionally heard in Samba. The conga drummer is demonstrating how you can incorporate conga drums into Samba with grooves that will fit in. Full set drummers do the same when they apply latin grooves to a full drum set. I think these grooves he is demonstrating will fit right in with a Jazz type Samba piece.

actualy samba started on instruments very close to congas, the atabaques. it's a lighter drum, so it's tuned lower, but is very close. no need to reinvent the wheel here (while making it square lol), there are several samba "toques" how they are called for samba on atabaque

[@Jaburu]

here is how samba would be played on congas for example kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6PdfGyIndeIhsU&lc=UgwfUDVzlfh1JIxyH594AaABAg.9_iPK0b7GUZ9_jDt7b34tY

[@paulb2683]

Very nice....

[@johnniewest100]

Das ist fantastisch! Endlich mal jemand, der Groove in den Fingern hat. Das kann man ja von den meisten anderen, die hier auf youtube congavideos hineinstellen nicht behaupten. Es müsste viel mehr von solchen motivierenden Groove-Lehrern geben. Ganz großes Dankeschön an Jose Cortijo !

[@paconey2569]

This demo class on samba is one best in KZbin

[@Viktorbaja1]

Ohhhh mannnn Mr Cortijo you're so amazingly groovy with every percussion instrument that you can grasp!! Respect to the max and thank you very much for all the proffesional high quality tutorials. Kind Regards a percussion student from holland

[@2846raiders]

La Música como cualquier otro Arte va en constante evolución,me parece una excelente adaptación de la Conga a ritmos Brasileños como en éste caso la Samba. En mi caso como Músico me parece bastante enriquecedor todas estas aportaciones...Muy bueno!

[@JoseCortijo]

Alex Barajas Gracias Alex. Un saludo

[@waveriderz2687]

Call it what you like but the grooves are definitely killin' and useful in a lot of music being played!!.. Thanks Bro

[@tenor26madness]

This is a great video! I love the grooves and the sound quality is really good. Those Sennheiser e604 mics sound really nice!

[@BrendrumJones]

Really enjoyed that, Great groves.

[@andreaqueiroz]

Adoro congas e tenho muita dificuldade para fazer grooves de samba, esse video está me ajudando muito (:

[@buenavistarumberos7833]

awesome congas awesome player awesome musico.

[@kofthebaskervilles]

Thanks so much --very handy and valuable to us trying to learn

[@hereistruth4440]

These are "Samba groves" adapted for Congas.. They definitely are within the samba feel, and can most definitely be used in Salsa or Latin jazz... Some people get carried away!!! Of course it's not strict samba from Brazil... Congas aren't Brazilian; however, its an instrument that is used everywhere these days. I believe these can be used in a true Brazilian samba, and would add a unique touch.

[@SuperScamp73]

really realty good..thanks

[@hawkrider88]

Very, very nice.

[@d-link8593]

Sehr cool mein Freund!

[@JoseCortijo]

Thanks for your comment!…I thought that every player here would understand the idea of this grooves with out much explications.

[@Giovannirockinsolid]

fun style to get into!

[@ARTUNAGER]

BRUTAL!!

[@kinhason46]

Could you have these grooves transcribed into musical chart as per Joseph ThursdayGroove on KZbin. Helpful, very very helpful!

[@congatone]

nice variacion,well done

[@aynadyne6900]

vacanooooooooooo...............

[@jakaregarcia4006]

não meu irmão, isso é salsa, samba é outra coisa.

[@carlossoares8910]

I´d say you have this impression because the congas aren´t the kind of instruments usually used in Samba.

[@wallynegron8909]

En algunos momentos el audio no concuerda con el movimiento o velocidad. Gracias por compartir.

[@cachosdeouro-dhe7232]

Gostei!

[@delsolluzpercussao2809]

então ,bacana demais...rola de postar as partituras pra nós?valeu mano abs..sucesso..

[@TheDoomcom]

@profi31 its ballroom samba ...

[@MrRenk10]

discreto!

[@MrJamjestteo]

is it me or are the congas brilliantly tuned?

[@Jaburu]

those are funk grooves

[@riccordeiromusico]

[@MADmartinez84]

professional :)

[@ElMonoLescano]

Je..je... brutoooo!!!.... chau lesbiano....

[@luleleo1]

muito bom

[@jaumepeirofayos5365]

hola que tal. me gustaria aprender estos patrones

[@JoseCortijo]

Hey batUCLAda, please, where is your problem?. You have really a lot of interesting videos at your channel, unfortunately I can't find one where you are sowing interpretations from samba grooves on congas for one bigband or modern combo percussion player. As a professional working musician you should know that it's important to respect the tradition, but, the music develops and on many musical circumstances you can't stay always on the tradition..

[@kinhason46]

Great stuff, please where can I print the conga chart of this, and what about your approach to Bossa nova on congas, please share? Thank you!

[@Meinl_Percussion_Official]

Thank you for your comment - for that kind of information we suggest that you talk to the artist directly. His name is Jose Cortijo.

[@kinhason46]

@@Meinl_Percussion_Official yes, it was provided, wish these talented conga drummers would offer charts! Thanks!

[@Mambartperc]

Samba da china, só pode kkkkkkkk

[@GrupoSambaRockSA]

boa

[@jairofonseca1597]

Well, it fits well, maybe all these basic grooves should mix in a music to give us the real samba feel, if you repeat the same groove all the time it will be boring in a while.

[@JoseCortijo]

@InfoRoom ??? "Guaguansongo 2" too many open tones…? Or part of the melody of the Rhythm…as here ;-)

[@dimitrihernandez2658]

Nice mix, but slows it down to learn it

[@JoseCortijo]

@drum09mike Hi, I'm playing right handed.

[@alexander33894]

@johnniewest100

[@olowasegun6829]

I like the sounds but he's playing so fast I can't really learn from this demo.

[@deejannemeiurffnicht1791]

fair point, what i do when i feel someone is teaching too fast, is to remember the feel and spound that the notes make as though the drums make up a little keyboard, and try to get the feel from that rather than being too concerned about it too much. when you get it right, then you will KNOW. you just feel it somehow the moment you get it right.

[@deejannemeiurffnicht1791]

also, if you have somje dj software, try using little clips of these drum parts in loops, slow them and then speed them up to suit you.

[@olowasegun6829]

Thanks for the advice

[@cisgom70tube]

you download the video with atube catcher and then play it slower with VLC

[@panchovilla9965]

Dont maatch. Do-it again in sloww motion

[@StefanLau]

das hätte ich mal gerne als Lehrvideo ganz langsam zum lernen.....

[@ElMonoLescano]

Seguro que sos "artista" - ¡¡¡ S O R D O O O O O !!!!!..de dónde sos marciano?...

@KarlosNavarrete Look at my channel, there are plenty of videos there. The reason for my comment is that MEINL Percussion is a professional company that makes and sells percussion instruments. They should know better than to advertise traditional instruments and rhythms being played by musicians who lack the knowledge and skill to properly interpret that which they are purporting to be playing. Regardless of what you think, what this guys is playing is not samba, and MEINL shouldn't say it is.

[@brurucy]

I'm Brazilian and thats really bullshit, i've NEVER seen congas in samba!!!

[@drumaticmusic4646]

Bruno Carneiro No! It's not bullshit, he's showing you how to. Tons of Jazz-fusion bands have played samba grooves with Congas.

[@ClubeTec]

+Bruno Carneiro I also am Brazilian and you're a big fool. You know nothing of Brazilian percussion. Do not talk nonsense. The oldest and characteristic samba instrument are atabaques, which have the same function of congas. Eu também sou brasileiro e você é um grande bobo. Você não sabe nada de percussão brasileira. Não fale bobagens. O instrumento mais antigo e caracteristico do samba são os atabaques, que possuem a mesma função das congas.

[@brunopinheiro4041]

I'm also Brazilian. So because YOU have never seen congas in samba it's bullshit? You will never listen to it on sertanejo universitario and funk do rio. I have seen and heard it MANY times on Sergio Mendes, Baden Powell, some Tom Jobim and many other old school Brazilian Jazz / African rhythm fusion stuff. Do your research before saying BULLSHIT.

[@MarioBastosmusicproducer]

This is more like a salsa . Not a samba.

[@guybr3]

sound more like latin music than samba

[@JoseCortijo]

@batUCLAda ...and this is what you are sowing on the most of your videos.... and men, nobody take cares and is feeling bad here if you are not playing the candomblé stuff to Xangó on congas instead on the traditional atabaques.. as Ethnomusicology student you should know this very well... and differently than you write, yes, there are other kind of music as samba ;-)

@KarlosNavarrete what??? finally?? wow, if you think THIS is playing samba on congas... then you don't know what samba is... this sounds like another generic "Latin" groove and does not even remotely sound like samba.

[@fabianoqueiroz3707]

Não amiguinho, isso ai não é samba...no es samba - this not samba

[@profi31]

this is no samba

[@ElMonoLescano]

En la brazilian Samba NO HAY CONGAS!!!!..... Qué ridículos....

[@TheVikingtropical]

The same horrible "samba" pattern that most conga players can play:-(. You can not play that shit with a brazilian Samba band, thats for sure.
