I can highly recommend the Thomas Cruz Conga Method books/dvds available through Mel Bay publishing. The teaching method is clear and easy to follow for both the intermediate/advanced player or absolute beginner.

Good luck Solo, and don't be shy to post any questions in this forum, there's no shortage of people willing give helpful advice or share their experience with you.
