This illustration shows a traditional pair of bongo drums-a smaller macho and larger hembra-crafted from wood with beige drumheads and chrome-plated rims. The drums are joined by a wooden connector, allowing them to be played as a single unit while seated or standing. Their compact size and expressive tonal range make them popular in genres like salsa, son, and folk music.
