Itinerary
How would you like to learn to play the "Congas in just 15 minutes"? I'm excited to share this new approach to learning for almost anyone of any age. Known as "Tumbao", "Marcha" or "Rhythm Pattern", you can learn to play this basic Conga pattern used in most popular music today in just 15 minutes. In this two-hour audience participation show, I take you through the history of how the Conga drums have influenced American Music (8 minutes), followed by the "15 minute Conga" lesson, and 60 to 70 minute audience play along to rhythms such as Jazz, Rock, Latin, Soul, Funk, R&B and Pop. During the show, I'll also play several Conga Rhythyms from my recently published book to hopefully enlighten the audience to the history of this instrument. Participants will take home a printed copy free of charge of the music they just learned, to practice at home. No experience needed. Learn to play the most popular rhythm patterns and learn to READ THE NOTES "GUARANTEED". Play along for an experience like no other. This is an audience participation show. Bring Food and beverages and you can also use The Celebrity Room at no extra cost before the Lesson/Show. You must call and make reservation.

Such an awesome experience. Manny had so much patience with 4 total newbies to Congos. He made the evening fun with our lessons, his stories and entertainment. Definitely recommend.

Manny’s love of music, and enthusiasm to teach and share with others is contagious! He is encouraging and patient even with tone deaf people without rhythm (me)!!!

OMG my friend and I had a spectacular time. The experience went beyond my expectations. Manny is so kind, passionate, and talented. He not only teaches you how to play in 15 minutes but also takes the time and care to explain the history of the conga. Every detail of the experience was meticulously thought out.
The physical location is immaculate too. We loved hearing all his stories as well. I can’t wait to bring my family and friends. This is also a fun girls night experience or for team building. It was the most fun I’ve had in a long time.
Remember ladies, we were the original drummers. We drummed in ancient ceremonies all over the world in history. Read “When The Women Were Drummers”.
The first drum we ever heard was our mother’s heartbeat. We can all play. It’s inside all of us.
Thank you Manny for rekindling my love for the conga 🪘

Manny was amazing. What a great teacher and historian of percussion. I'm a 76 year old drummer who has messed around with congas and bongos off and on, but, could never get the right sounds. In one lesson Manny taught me the technique to get the right sounds. Now I just need to put in the practice time.

I had a completely excellent experience with Manny. His expertise on the congas both in the story and in the notes and the clave is incredibly phenomenal. I felt at home at all times. Anyway, Manny is already my new friend. I recommend the conga lessons with Manny 100%.
