    Professionally Researched. (What's this?)

    Latin music, including the style of la Conga, caught on in the United States in the early 1900s. In Latin nations, Conga is more accurately referred to as tumbadora. The Conga drum traces back to Africa, although a specific date of origin remains unknown. Historians believe the drum became a part of Latin culture during the time of black slavery in Cuba in the 1800s.
