I kinda think of the Congas as being the bass guitar of a combo; deep, resonant, and melodic. The rhythm is and needs to be a constant time keeper. Flash is kept to a minimum. Bongos are soloist color. Listen to combinations of both types of drums in compositions. Music like Mambo. When Perez Prado's orchestra plays, the conga is keeping the steady driving time, even if it is muted. The bongos are out front playing a more complex colorful rhythm. Bridging the two are the sharp accents of the cascara and bajo of the timbal with that bright block or cowbell accent. Wow, I love this music, it can definitely take control of you and send you on a voyage.
lol! my favorite bass Afro Cuban instrument has to be the Marimbula though, there's an artist in Miami who gets great tones out of them lemme get a link to this super cool instrument ua-cam.com/video/qJpGCoZ4dts/v-deo.htmlsi=dOrAqIHzxpw-Xg4q CC is English! Cheers!
Quinto and Tumba is okay but another one isn't conga.. it's called a Tres Dos or Tres Golpes, a part or a kit of whole set of conga! Tumba is also known as a Tumbador or Salidor!
There are Triple Bongos too which the 3rd Bongo is what we call the Bebe Quinto, (the Fifth pitched Baby) cause it's the son/daughter of the mom & dad.
Congas are basically Bass-Baritone Bongos
For sure!

@@stevenserna910 They're great for Rhythm
@@RhythmNotes I think of these drums as shades of plums and flat or high-heeled close or open toe dress shoes.

For sure ... but conga, quinto, tumba are the terms used commercially.

That's interesting. Thanks for sharing!
that's so cute 😭😭
@@RhythmNotesit’s basically an accent/spok drum. Very uncommon to find though.
Obrigado. São Paulo-Brasil
de nada
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with us Sir
🙏❤🌹
It's my pleasure
Thanks for the video :) Would've been cool if you let us hear each instrument's sound soloed.
Thanks for the idea!

Very interesting and informative. The clear explanation will help me enjoy the different sounds. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
thanks bongo man :P
Any time!
may i ask?
what type of music is the bg music?
It's son conjunto. Some may call it son Cubano. The song is "I Don't Smoke" by Mythical Score Society
The conga explosion graphic was next level
Haha ... I forgot about that. I tried to lean into the cheese factor a bit.
Very informative thank you
Glad it was helpful!
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE...IT'S THE SAME AS A TUBA AND A PICCOLO!!
✔️
Light and dark plums, closed and open toe flat or high-heeled dress shoes are other differences between these 2 sexy types of drums 🪘.
I couldn’t have said it better.
@@RhythmNotes As purple fruit looks and tastes pretty and good, and so do women’s dress shoes.
Very good my friend
Thank you very much! I’m glad you like it.
I play Congo drums and Bongos
