MOZAMBIQUE! DVD Volume 2: 55 minute instructional video and 30-page booklet. Volume 2 focuses on Mozambique in a band setting, in both Cuban and New York styles. Performers include Chris "Flaco" Walker, David Penalosa, Noah Mosgofian, and Cary Griffin. In the first half, I show how Pello el Afrokan's Cuban Carnaval music feels in 2-3 clave. We learn two bell parts, a two conga part, a single conga part and two bombo (bass drum) parts. We play in a small group, then I perform it with a nine piece group, I solo a bit, and we dip into Mozambique in 6-8 (!) In the second half of the video I show variations of the New York style on two congas, as well as a three drum style that has become one of my favorite grooves. I teach the basic timbale part with bell and bombo and we do a performance of "New York Mozambique, California Style" I'd like to thank all the Cuban, Puerto Rican, and American drummers who have created and expanded this fantastic groove, born of the 1960's.
