Miguel Companioni y su conjunto La Yaya - Cuba

Miguel Companioni y su conjunto La Yaya

The musician on the upper right plays a 'Botijuela'.
Also shown are the very early style of Bongoces, connected with cord/rope or piece of leather and "slung" over the drummers knee. With a similar traditional rope and *wedge tuning system (*cuñas") as used in the four Abakúa 'biankomeko' drums.
