Hey there have been some great videos posted here lately. With the proliferation of YouTube and Google there are more and more conga and percussion videos online then ever before.
Would the moderators consider creating a new forum just for videos? That way it would create easy access and posters could create sub-threads for each one they've found.
Yea that's my Bro "Gumbi Ortiz's" group out of Florida..Gumbi's main gig has been with Al Dimeola for many years....he'sa "homboy" from "DA BRONX"....like me...."JC" Johnny Conga...
I also think a forum or thread here for videos is a great idea. Maybe Congaplace has already considered this; maybe there are copyright complications, but I hope not.
Hi Johnny,
I hope all is great with you. As said, we may have seen each other in the past in NYC at times... I sure hope we get to meet up again some day.
Thanks for doing this but I think what Congamyk was asking for originally was a whole new video clip "section" or forum or whatever - so that each video could be posted as a separate topic, allowing for easy-to-follow discussions about individual videos.
Not sure if that is possible, or desireable, or maybe even the "books videos and CDs" section could be used for that.
Anyway. Careful with that YouTube, it is addictive!
Abakua,, not only are you one of the finest congueros in the entire world,, but you are also just a great guy! Thanks for putting the thread up there, sharing the vids that you appreciate, and being there for all of us!
Great great great stuff!!! I spent a few hours this morning soaking in these videos!
