Learn Congss in 15 Minutes... great program - So a long review but needed! Firstly, I have been playing drums professionally for years... I started to play percussion a few years back. When I saw this "Learn to play congas" experience, I found it interesting and wanted to attend. Here is what I found. Manny created a wonderful program for beginners who would like a different kind of experience. South Florida is culturally rich and there are many great percussionists here and some areas are ripe with Afro Cuban music. It is part of South Florida's DNA. Manny's studio is professionally designed like many high end studios, and just beautiful. He has very good equipment for players and are not cheap low end conga drums. Manny's program is well thought out. He starts with a history of conga drumming and explains culturally the root of Afro Cuban music as it applies to modern music. He explains a key rhythm called Clave, which is the base rhythm component in Afro-Cuban music , for many modern songs, from Bo Diddley, to Led Zeppelin and Toto's Rosanna. All presentations and examples are done with very professional audio visual technology. From there, Manny advances to playing and learning how to read music. It is done in the way the is easily followed and simply explained. He takes potentially a complex content, simplifies it and makes it easy and fun to follow. The students learn to apply what they have learned by playing along with various songs. In the end the students have FUN

Fantastic experience! Don’t miss it! - It was such a unique and fun experience! Manny is such a friendly, funny guy, who has amazing artistic skills! It was informative, very entertaining, and lots and lots of fun learning to play the conga with no prior experience playing any instruments! Manny made it fun, comfortable and easy! Our first booking got canceled, but we really wanted to go, so next day we did, and honestly, we’re so glad we did! It was such a fun time, we made a new friend, and a memory to keep for a lifetime! 5 stars! You got to try it, you’ll be happy you did!!🙂 Andrea and Nico
