Bongo - Bachata Style

[COL66]

hello, does anyone know of a youtube video that explains the basic bachata beat for the bongos? I have seen a lot of advanced videos, nothing with just the basic beat. in the alternative, is anyone willing to upload a how-to bachata video? Thanks much!

Col66:
Bongo en la bachata is similar to boleros, but with a lot of more repiques or contra tiempos, its basically martillo but you play it to the emotional feeling & tempo & add your fill ins, in the coro (chorus) its a little harder, you use your left hand to muffle and use the right to make the hit pitch martillo sound three times then the 4thbeat is the hembra.. its a little hard to explain, but listen very carefully & study the rhythm...this is how I learned to play bachata... listen,learn,practice & use your imagination..
