Congacycle

Purchase qty:

Congacycle is a combination of the words "conga"and "bicycle".    The image of this combination came to me one day while teaching conga technique to a group of teens and watching one of my students arrive on his bicycle.  It occurred to me that drumming is an exhilerating experience also, not unlike riding a bike.  Bicycle riding is  a fast, fun way to get around, see new places and learn about the world.  I have learned a lot about other people in far away places through my studies of drumming.  Many of the rhythms I know have a special significance.  By learning and performing these pieces, I increase my understanding of how others live and how different people perceive the world we share.
