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)!!!

Manny is simply amazing. His love and passion for congas and life in general poor out of him. I can’t wait to see you again Many! Thank you for such an amazing experience. Ps. I’ve been practicing to every song I hear 😅😃.

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%.
