Description

In this episode I talk with the conga legend Giovanni Hidalgo about the feeling of groove, the mindset for training percussion, how the pioneering conga players like Candido Camero and Tata Güines tuned their congas, Giovanni's musical and life stories, the healing power of rhythm, the revival of MegaDrums and much more. Giovanni even gave us an amazing live conga solo!
