What brand of congas are these, the pair on the right.
They remind me of Volcanoes, but for some reason I doubt it.
Also is that Tata Guines behind them?
The others are Matadors obviously.

My Mistake I keep telling my wife I need new glasses, Are Guanex made in Cuba? Guanex sounds like a Taino word very interesting wood any ideas as to what type.
