Plural of conga: either the tall, barrel-shaped hand drums used in Latin music, or multiple instances of the conga dance.
From Cuban Spanish 'conga,' likely connected to Bantu roots and African musical traditions. The word refers both to the drum instrument and the dance that accompanies it.
Congas are percussion instruments that look simple but require real skill to play—the different pitches come from where and how hard you hit the drum head, making them surprisingly versatile.
