The "main groove" in the conga Santiaguera (a.k.a. "Conga Oriental") rhythm is known (to those "in the know"!) as Pilón. I will deal with the two variations, Columbia and Masón, in a later post.
This post has updated patterns based on a study trip to Santiago de Cuba in 2019.
Many thanks to maestros:
Lazaro Bandera Malet, musical director, La Conga de Los Hoyos
Richard Lineonel Ferrara "Kiki", musical director, Conga Paso Franco
Raul Lopez Martinez "Raulito", director, Conga San Agustin
