is a Conga drum, coming from Africa, evolution of the Makuta drum, also called Tumbadora, is the main instrument in Rumba but is also used in Santeria rituals with the Bata drum. Popularized mainly by Manbo and Salsa and introduced in EEUU by Cuban musicians who add the instrument to the Jazz bands. Candido Camero started using three conga drums each one with different pitch to create melodies and giving the instrument a different role, more as an melodic instrument without the limitation of being just a percussion for rhythm
It’s not called a “jungle drum”. It is called a Congo drum. It is played with the hands and is frequently used by musicians in the Southern US states.
Thank You!
