FREE Conga Lessons Celebrating the National Day of Salsa

Conga drums are at the center of Afro-Cuban music both on the stage and in the street. It’s an instrument that embodies the mixing of cultures from Africa to the Caribbean, North America, and the World.

The conguero, or conga player, is critical in the salsa, timba, and folkloric groups through which the instrument has developed. Patterns are called “marcha” or “tumbao,” depending on how you choose to think about them, and it takes development of specific techniques to learn how to play the conga drums.
