Conga De Los Hoyos

One of the oldest and best-known carnival groups in Santiago, Cuba today, founded in 1902. Group members are exclusively from the Los Hoyos, neighbourhood of Santiago, and feature over 50 percussionists and singers who play everything from car brake drums, hubcaps and frying pans to the distinctive Chinese trumpet – a sound unique to eastern Cuba’s carnival groups.
