There may be a link with the Bantu language groups and congas. I know that the cultures that had ngoma drums "ie Bantus" are now using congas from Zimbabwe to ...
Well Aaron, The Cuban conga drum is ABSOLUTELY Bantu-derived, and no doubt that all will agree here. The ngoma drums which Baba played were also Bantu-derived....
But Babatunde was not from a Bantu-speaking group--he was a Yoruba. I've definitely seen him play different types of drums--including the dundun (i.e.,...
