Congas "EL Goma" Argentina

[RitmoBoricua]

Candombe is heavily influenced from the Bantu people line of drumming hence the stick & hand approach.
These drums are far lighter than congas, hence able to be carried with a strap for block after block in the llamada parades.
A former student and good friend of mine gave me a 'Chico' from his set of 3, its made of Brazilian Pine, very light.

Thanks for the historical information.
