Conga Drum

Conga drum styles are most recognized in Latin music, such as salsa, meringue and rumba. They originated in Africa but were brought to South America with the Atlantic slave trade. There they found a new home and new music styles to assimilate with.

Conga drums are long, narrow and usually made of wood. They can come in singles or pairs. Usually, they are played by the hands rather than being struck with instruments like mallets or drum sticks.

Conga drums have many different styles, sizes and designs. They can be purchased from a variety of retailers, from local music stores to various online Web sites. They are a wonderful gift for any musician.
