Any info on these Bongos? Do they have a website? or maybe an address in Colombia? My love for the bongo is growing!

Keep checking eBay as new bongos will be out for auction soon.
Below is one the recent bongos sold by eBayer "colombianpercussion." I bought my maracas, guiro and claves from This gentelman and they're indeed the best instruments in the world.

Good luck!

I guess my tastes aren't sohpisticated enough to really appreciate this groove. I do admire his ability to play all the toys, though.
