Bongos

Bongos are a pair of small, differently sized Afro-Cuban drums named hembra (the larger drum) and macho (the smaller drum). They are played by a bongosero using their hands, usually in between their legs, though they can sometimes be mounted on stands and/or played using sticks or mallets. Bongos are popular in son cubano and salsa, alongside congas and timbales, and curiously enough, they look just like bongoberries, to the point where they are the latter's namesake.
