King Conga was a Fremont, California based percussion manufacturing company founded by Carilo M. Basas in the early 1970's. They were one of the first companies to produce fiberglass congas. The original endorser for King Conga was the legendary Armando Peraza. [1]

King Conga produced four original sizes - Quinto, Conga, Tumba, and Super Tumba. Although the company was only around for a few years, these drums are still considered some of the best sounding fiberglass drums ever produced and have tonal qualities that are comparable to traditional wooden congas.

Unfortunately there is hardly any documented history about the company.
