Playing Maracas with John Santos

Mine is 60 years old. Thanks Bertil

Fantastic! Greetings from India.

1 am hitting different

Wow! I had no idea Tony Robbins had rhythm.

Beautiful

He is exelent wow

We humans r such a wonderful creation of nature...😍❤❤

Look at me, John!

Sorry Jhonny. I guess you are bluffing with a pair of maracas. That may be variations.
First at all: skin maracas was invented by Pablo Landaeta, nicknamed "Pan con queso", a venezuelan percussionist, bongo maker and founder of a famous musical group . The fact is that he never pattented his invention and he never enjoy the royalties and nobody have give him the merit of his creation.
The other thing: in afrocuban music( changui, chachacha, rumba, montuno, guajira, guaracha, guaguancó, etc) the left hand maraca follow the rithm with a stacatto, and with the right hand maraca the variations is doing.
John: ¿in what " salsa" group do you play?

I wonder if you shook some maracas at a rattlesnake, what would its reaction be? I just got interested in Maracas because I am a guitar player and Lionel Richie's song, Sail On has some Maracas shaking in it, and I would like to incorporate them in a song.

You are a master of Giving. Bless you brother.

I came upon this video and somehow I knew it would be magical. Stunning simplicity. Wow !

I would be laughing trying to explain

I love maracas

👍

Класс!)

I also like the nerds candy video. We love nerds. Anyway.

The video is incredible. Talk about Hand eye hearing, coordination. Just amazing. My left hand is not wanting to work right. Lol. But also when listening and look away what he is doing sounds different, look back at what he is doing the sound is different. This is so totally cool. Trying to follow him, lol. That is so much harder than it looks lol. This person below is awesome at the marachas. It is also a excellent example between rattles and growth. Music has so much to teach, so much to strengthen. The basic senses. It's so awesome also lb kinds of different music. Instruments. Etc.

Awesome great job. Senior? Is that right for sir? Or mr?

Wow that is so much harder than it looks. Lol

muy bien

J adore 😊

I tried it 🙈🤪

The faster you go, the merenguiest you get

I'm here for my module:)

La expresion aqui seria ... Que sadico es john santos.

I’ve been considering adding Maracas to a recording of my original music. Now I will. For sure! Thank you Maestro!

wow. I just bought 2 pairs of maracas upon seeing this video. I hope I could learn to use it cause I'm enclined to music. I'm an accoustic guitarist and vocalist by the way. 😊

A good musician like him can do a solo even with a hand cowbell

i learned how to use now maracas

I’m curious of what 349 people didn’t like bout this video

Soo lovely video.. full respect

He is amazing

Really good

Bravo

Great video,keep it up!🥁

Wow😮😮😮

Neil LeVang's Ghost Riders brought me here!

Finally, I got the right maracas to do that! I love it!

Nicely done John ! I heard some Joropo too, the Venezuelano rhythms and techniques blow me away, those Maracas de Coco are tight for intricate rhythms, a bit different than the Lp large bulb maracas w/ heavier plastic filler material that you demonstrated very well. I often dis assemble the rawhide maracas to experiment with different filler like small crushed rock used for fish aquariums for particular size and type of maraca shell bodies.

I’ve been looking for maracas and the LP Macho Maracas are the best I’ve heard. My next.

Almost 8 years too late but nice.

John Santos looks like John Leguizamo's hotter cousin.
