Miguel Anga Diaz- Anga Mania The Past Present and Future of Conga Playing DVD

Product Description Miguel ""Anga"" Diaz (1961-2006) will be remembered as one of the greatest congueros of all time for his remarkable soloing and multiple conga/percussion inventions. In this exclusive DVD masterclass, Anga demonstrates many of the systems and forms he uses to develop dexterous patterns, riffs, and solos. Each example is demonstrated in a solo context, then in a duet performance. In the Marcha, Guaguanco, and Soloing sections, Anga reveals his incomparable patterns and variations on five congas. Duet performances with virtuoso Cuban pianist Gabriel Hernandez help illustrate Angas ideas while he breaks down his soloing phrases, playing each slowly and explaining the origin of each riff. Anga continues with the Mixing Styles sections, overdubbing three layers of different drumming styles and mixing funk with the Cuban rhythms Pilon and Batumbata. Anga also demonstrates how congas can bring an organic feel to the DJ-based styles in duets with DJ Gilb-R and an improvised trio segment featuring Anga playing his ""Set Cubano,"" mixing congas, bells, and drums with both his hands and feet to create a phenomenal flow of rhythms. Review "Miguel "Anga" Diaz certainly knows conga traditions, but his flame burns brightest when breaking down barriers and mixing styles. That s one reason he has been sought by heavy hitters like Irakere, Danilo Perez, Roy Hargroove, Ruben Gonzales, and Steve Coleman. This video's centerpiece is Anga s mastery of the five-conga setup, with which he creates patterns suggesting a " harmonic " tumbao. The one-hand/one-stick patterns combining congas and percussion are also exciting. The video doesn t emphasize breakdowns, but the accompanying booklet, expertly transcrided by Victor Rendon, serves as a clear, studious guide to Diaz patterns. Performance highlights include hot duets with pianist Gabriel Hernandez, and for something completely different, a street-energy jam with DJ GILB-R. From start to finish, Diaz grooves are amazing. But it s ultimately his unbridled joy in playing that s most winning." Jeff Potter --Modern Drummer MagazineThe cover of Anga Mania! describes it as a conga "video-masterclass," and that's definitely no exaggeration. In demonstrating solo and duet techniques in funk and jungle as well as traditional styles, Diaz comes out of the gate with five congas and never looks back. --Drum Magazine
