Double Bass Latin double bass : Nanigo, Cha cha, tango etc tips

Hello,

Sorry if it's not the good section. I was not sure.

I'm workin on latin style music. It's a new world to discover. Very pleasant with the db.
I'use the latin bass method ( George Lopez) for E bass, but the samples are fine for db.
for the moment I'm working on sample / groove / clave of
Mambo - cha cha - bolero - naningo

I love the " groove " of the cha cha, others too, but cha cha have something special.

I would be pleased if you could give me some song title in these style of music.

Maybe some examples of naningo ?

Here is the pattern

How do you "manage " this with your right hand ? One finger, alterned ?
It's really groovy, love that. But I've some difficulties with the right hand..

I've also get the latin bass book and 9 easy latins standards.
I think I have all the Tools to work and progress and of course your tips and suggestion.

I will give me the goal : 1 year work latin db, and after find a band.

Have a nice day.
Courage in this so particular period , lockdown and covid, to all.

Sébastien

up edit with the good pattern ( I've posted the drum) .

For the moment I pay it I-M-I-M-I-I-I or I-I-I-M-I-I-I-I right hand.
It's quite speed for me, the first solution is more confortable but maybe not the best "academic " way to play this riff.
