I think the best one for me would be "musician" or "Latin music nut"
Someone said on here, "a percussionist in Latin music must be versed or at least know how to play conga, bongo, timbales, and tambora. and all other minor perc ie, guiro, guira, maraca, shekere, etc. A conguero to me is someone who just plays congas." I agree wholeheartedly.
But that's only part of what I do. I do play the instruments mentioned above (minus the tambora which I hope to get into when I can save up the $ for one lol), but also the keyboard and guitar. I suppose those are rhythm instruments as well but not percussion. So u can call me a conguero, bongocero etc. but I'm just an all-around Latin music nut
