Conga

The Conga is a large drum of African origin, very much used in salsa. Mostly appearing in pairs, they are played by a standing conguero who uses his hands to count on them. The term is also used to refer to a Cuban Carnival dance. It is also the name of a salon dance which had its moments of glory during the 30's.
