Giovanni Compact Conga

Giovanni Hidalgo: PART OF THE LP INNER CIRCLE

Rarely does a percussionist reach the level of excellence of Giovanni Hidalgo. He has traveled the globe, performing with Dizzie Gillespie, "El Rey" Tito Puente, Carlos Santana, Paul Simon and the Grateful Dead’s Mickey Hart. While Giovanni is known primarily as a Master Conguero, he is brilliant playing all percussion instruments. Ambidextrous, with faultless technical skills and superb musicality, he has created a style all his own. He continuously expands the boundaries of his music.

Designed with master Conguero Giovanni Hidalgo and winner of the 2003 Musikmesse International Press Award for most innovative instrument.
