Conga comes from Africa and is deeply rooted in Cuban culture. It’s played at festivals, local celebrations and many other venues throughout the island.
Conga is also an essential part of Cuban baseball. Every team in Cuba’s baseball league, called the National Series, has its own conga band. Their music riles up the crowd, sets the mood of the stadium and can sometimes prove decisive for their team’s result on the diamond.
