ARTIST SERIES, LUIS CONTE CONGAS
Grammy-winner Luis Conte is an acknowledged master of percussion. His celebrated career includes touring and/or recording with some of the greatest names in contemporary music, including Madonna, Eric Clapton, Santana, Céline Dion, Barbara Streisand, Backstreet Boys, Ray Charles and Cuban legends Arturo Sandoval and Cachao.
All of Luis’ needs have been met and exceeded with the MEINL Artist Series Luis Conte Signature Congas. They combine the charm and sound of the old traditional Cuban drums with modern features and innovations. The congas are equipped with traditional rims, are mounted as close to the shell as possible, and when combined with MEINL’s True Skin Buffalo Heads, they enable an even more controlled sound.
