Music: Percussion - Conga / Bongo

   

      Both the Conga and Bongo are becoming very popular with the popularity of latin music and dancing. The Bongos are great since they have two different sized heads with distinctive sounds. Also the bongos are inexpensive and small so they are great for carrying around. The Conga is incredible because of its great range of sounds (especially the deep tone) and are powerful.

     Like the djembe, unfortunately there are not an abundant number of online sites with free lessons. If you want to learn some basics apart from the free links, there are incredible books and dvds on both instruments.

Good Luck and Have Fun,

Duncan Davis
