    Doesn't the majority of disco songs have bongos?
    Just had 'Get On The Funk Train' by Munich Machine in mind.

    There from Hoboken New Jersey, big around here in the early 80's. They had one EP and a couple of albums. They use some bongos in some of their songs.

  6. Those are congas, not bongos.

    Well, I didn't listen to the track since months, but I think you're right.

    Song with bongos...not mentioned yet, "My Little Town" by Simon & Garfunkel. It's nice how they suddenly appear in the closing chorus.

    The Shadows - Bongo Blues - 1959 - one of their earliest W-I-D-E S-T-E-R-E-O™ tracks. Sounds superb!

    DID YOU STEAL MY BONGOS?



    On my first relisten for probably thirty years, it's impossible not to 'see' Charlie Higson.

    Arguably the greatest band to come from Norwich.

    Norwich is not a musical hotbed.

    I don't think there's actually bongos on it, but it has the great line: "Some guy maybe plays like a broken bongo drum or something...."

    This should have bongos, perhaps, but ironically it doesn't. Well, not the kind of bongos you're looking for. Still a fun tune, though:
