10 Basic Bachata Rhythms for the Bongos

Hi, I'm Peter from Soundadventurer.com. Recently, I spent some time studying and focusing on the bongos trying to improve my technique and my knowledge of the instrument. And, as part of that I tried to challenge myself and learn different Bachata rhythms So I went onto Spotify and checked out a Bachata playlist and tried to incorporate some of those rhythms And so I decided to share 10 rhythms that can be used for Bachata music I'll share the music in the description, below. Don't forget to subscribe, I'm going to be learning a lot more about several different instruments and I'll be sharing those lessons here. In efforts to be helpful I'm going to play these slow and fast. As you can see, I'm not a master at the bongos but I'm learning. Hopefully this was helpful to you if you're trying to pick up some Bachata rhythms Thanks for watching.

I'm on a huge music journey right now--I spent a month trying to practice these bongos I've had for over 15 years (sorry for the old drumheads... they probably don't sound very good anymore). Anyway, I'm practicing a different instrument every month for the year of 2020. I'll be sharing my lessons learned and try to be helpful--make sure and subscribe so you can stay tuned!
