A COAT OF MANY COLORS (2006)
Four percussion masters, global leaders in their respective disciplines, come together for a highly-charged musical exchange; explosive, unpredictable, and unusual. Doudou N’Diaye Rose (Senegalese master of the sabar), Chad Wackerman, (Frank Zappa, Allan Holdsworth), Luis Conte (Madonna, Michael Jackson), and Bill Bruford (Yes, King Crimson, Earthworks), are known internationally as the World Drummers Ensemble.
THE LATIN JAZZ TRIO
Percussionist to some of the best artists in the world, Luis Conte, with David Garfield (piano) and Dave Carpenter (bass), explores the Latin side of jazz. Recorded in HiRes and with video angles and switchable mix perspectives. Sit onstage with the band or move out to the first row of the audience--the choice is yours.
CUBAN DREAMS (2000)
Cuban Dreams is a stunning feast for the senses and invites you to step further into the world of Luis Conte, the brilliant, innovative percussionist, composer, and arranger. Ten tracks capture the moods, sounds, and source of Luis Conte's musical heritage and enjoyment. Cuban Dreams chronicles Luis Conte's childhood experiences in Santiago de Cuba, through a myriad of rhythms and first-hand historical perspectives from the artist and his family members who serve as orators.
STUDIO PERCUSSIONIST (2003)
Geared for the serious recording percussionist, this DVD gives a first-hand glimpse at the recording process of one of the most sought-after studio percussionists in the world. Luis Conte demonstrates the recording of basic tracks and the overlaying of additional tracks to complete a cut. Additionally, he shows how to create entirely different "feels" from a single basic track and how to record multiple percussion instruments within a single track (allowing the over-dub process to maximize the available number of tracks ). This DVD also highlights Luis' playing of congas, bongos, timbales, djembes, tambourines, cajons, shekeres, and more.

Luis
Conte has taken the Afro-Cuban tradition on hand
percussion and applied it to all styles of music. Here
he explains his approach to learning the tradition, and
then making it your own. Luis's philosophy is 'Learn
the roots, then do what you feel.' One dynamic segment
of this tape includes a brilliant solo performance on
congas, bongos, timbales, bells, chimes, shakers, shekere,
tambourine and cajon which includes the following rhythms:
marcha, songo, Afro-Cuban 6/8, abakuá and martillo.
Other segments include: The importance of timekeeping,
Thinking in phrases, Playing simply, Sounds of the shekere,
and more.
LUIS CONTE SIGNATURE CONGAS
All of Luis’ specifications have been achieved with the MEINL Artist Series Luis Conte Signature Congas. They combine the charm and sound of the old traditional Cuban drums with modern features and innovations. The congas are equipped with traditional rims and are mounted as close to the shell as possible, and when combined with MEINL’s True Skin Buffalo Heads, enable an even more controlled sound and easier tuning.
