perty female friend of mine got a set of congas and wants to jam w/ me :D
i know u can use them for percussion on any song but could yall help out w/ some songs (rock/pop) that are recorded w/ congas for us to listen too. Sympathy for the devil and 3 am by Matchbox 20 are a couple we are starting w/. I'll be playing acoustic and singing w/ her, but u get the idea of what im shooting for :wink:
Thinkin' bout the times we had
Some were good and some were bad
guitar fightin' the tv
i was thinkin bout you and me
i think a bunch of ben harper songs have hand drums.
Pretty much anything Santana will work with congas.
-=tension & release=-
good suggestions, ben harper burn one down is an awesome song, so is his cover of redemption song and get up, stand up.
Santana, yes, why didnt i think of that! His stuff is like softcore porn anyway, perfect! Target has a santana DVD for like $6 I hope to receive for Christmas....
thanks guys.

Anything by the band Guster. I recommend "I Spy" "Happier" and "Rocketship"

Check out some of the Maytals' recordings from the 60's. Brilliant stuff. Very nice hand drum sounds.
I never did mind about the little things
Somewhere in the initial post, there's a fantastic joke about a pretty girl and her congas...but I'll leave it alone. :)
Jack Johnson has a TON of songs that sound great with congas/bongos/whatever we're calling them these days. When the neighbors and I get together and jam some JJ, one of us almost invariably puts down the guitar and picks up the bongos to accompany. Lots of fun, sounds great, and many Jack Johnson songs are positively bursting with innuendo. :D
ok songs like -
salama yo salama
didi by khaled
and other african arabian kinda songs....ok gipsy kings are also good one in this regard.i am not much expert over this but i have certainly heard good percussion in the songs i mention :wink:
