Andrew's First Gig - Paperback

by Joshua Galindo (Author)

What is a gig? Gig is a slang word for a musician's performance. What about conga drums? The word conga refers to three things: 1. The drum-the conga drum is a type of makuta Congolese (from the Congo) African drum. 2. The music-in Cuba, where these drums were developed, the word conga is usually only applied to a drum and the rhythm played. 3. The dance-the conga dance is a celebratory dance that many do in a line, involving three steps and a tap to the side.
