I'm attempting to learn the SONGO.  (Wish me luck ) Actually, I've got the basic Tommy Igoe pattern almost worked out but I'm at that point where I need to be able to work it into some real music.  Since I'm no AfroCuban expert I need to listen to a bunch of songs using this rhythm. So, I need your help.  I want to compile a playlist of songs in SONGO for reference.  I've got a couple of books, the Igoe stuff, etc. but much of this is created for the drummer to play along. I want the real thing. AND, I'm such a novice, I can't always discern which AfroCuban/Latin pattern is being used.  So, if you KNOW what I'm talking about and have some suggestions, please shoot!

I have that Michel Camilo CD. Joel Rosenblatt kills on it. Great, great CD.

Yea, I've got that also.  If I remember it's Joel on some songs and Weckl on others.  I'll have to go back and give that another listen or two. 


Bart, Most Excellent and THANKS.  Any chance you could point out a few of the individual songs that are specifically SONGO.  My guess is that each album you referenced has a variety and I might just want to buy individual tracks right now.  Thanks again..
