About me
HOLA TO ALL MY FELLOW CONGUEROS. AT AN EARLY AGE GROWING UP IN 'EL BARRIO' SPANISH HARLEM I WAS ALWAYS MESMERIZED TO THE SOUNDS OF THE CONGAS BY THE LOCAL RUMBEROS. I LEARNED ALOT BY JUST WATCHING, THEN GOING HOME TO PRACTICE ON THE TABLE, POTS AND PANS AND ANYTHING THAT CAME OF SOUND. SHINING SHOES I SAVED AND BOUGHT MY FIRST CONGA, PRACTICED FOR HOURS EVERYDAY. THE RUMBEROS SEEN THAT I REALLY WANTED TO LEARN, TOOK A LIKING TO THIS KID AND SHOWED ME THE ROPES. I THEN WENT ON TO LEARN AT WORKSHOPS IN HARLEM FROM RICHIE 'PABLO' LANDRUM, PAPIRO ALLENDE AND LATIN JOE COLON. I PLAYED FOR A GOOD 15 YRS. UNTIL PROBLEMS CAME ABOUT AND I SADLY DROPPED MY DRUMMING. 25 YRS. LATER IM LIVING IN FLORIDA PURCHASED CONGAS,BELLS ,SHEKERES THE WHOLE NINE. IM BACK, NEVER FORGOT WHAT I LEARNED, ALOT RUSTY BUT I PRACTICE EVERYDAY FOR 2 OR MORE HOURS BUILDING MY CHOPS. I KNOW THAT I HAVE ALOT TO LEARN AND I'VE CONNECTED WITH RUMBEROS IN MIAMI, AND YES THERE ARE RUMBAS GOING ON IN MIAMI NOW. MY PASSION AND LOVE FOR AFROCARIBE MUSIC WILL BE WITH ME TILL THE DAY I DIE. THANKYOU FOR LOOKING AT MY PROFILE. 'QUE VIVA LA MUSICA'
