Synergy Clear
I want to learn how to play the congas (Salsa style). Newbie need advice.?
Ok, so I bought a conga a couple months back. Originally it was to play for Capoeira but quickly became infatuated with wanting to learn how to play it Salsa Style. It’s made out of wood and the top is 12 inches and the skin is a little clear (it’s a synergy btw).
Questions:
1. Do I need to buy a different head (different material)?
2. If I were to buy a second conga what type, size, etc. would I need to get?
3. Were can I get training (dvd material preferably)?
4. How do you learn how to play along with music? You can barely hear the congas in the background so it’s a little hard to follow along.
4. Any other suggestions?
There is a very good DVD class by Tomas Cruz. It consists of three levels and it teaches congas using the methods of the National School of the Arts (La ENA) and the Insitituto Superior de Artes (the music university) in Cuba. The first level teaches the basics, level 2 gets into more of the modern conga patterns and level 3 is about how to play the most complex patterns and effect in Cuban salsa.
It is very highly rated by readers at Amazon.com who said it was the best way to quickly learn to play.
