Conga drums are tall, narrow percussion instruments originating from Cuba. They are typically made from wood or fiberglass and have a single drumhead that is played with the hands. Congas are a key component of Afro-Cuban music and are often used in various genres, including salsa and rumba. These drums come in different sizes, with the most common being the quinto, conga, and tumba. Each size produces a distinct sound, allowing musicians to create rich rhythms. Congas are usually played in groups, adding depth and complexity to musical performances.
