LESSON PREVIEW In this lesson I am going to show you the two conga patterns used for playing the traditional version of the Cuban Mozambique rhythm, invented by Pello El Afrokan, Mozambique was a rhythm arrangement, dance craze in cuba and NY and also a music genre pioneered by the late great Pello El Aforkan. I got a chance to meet, study and film Pello in 1985 in Cuba where I learned this rhythm from him. This is the traditional version and not the NYC version in the 60's made popular by Mr. Eddie Palmieri. Mozambique peaked in 1965, when Pello took a group to the Olympics in Paris.
We are going to learn the rhythm using build up method (a little bit at a time) as well as slow motion and front and rear angles as well. I am also going to show you how to enter the rhythm and play the rhythm with cuban rumba clave.
