I think we're kicking butt!
There's not a stone in my heart I've left unturned
Not a piece of my soul that I ain't searched
The only answer I found for all this hurt

"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and the success of liberty.
- John F. Kennedy, January 20, 1961
To live in the presence of great truths and eternal laws,
to be led by permanent ideals -
that is what keeps a man patient
when the world ignores him,
and calm and unspoiled when the world praises him. -- Honore De Balzac

Initially, the bongo had heads which were tacked and tuned with a heat source. By the 1940's metal tuning lugs were developed to facilitate easier tuning. Some of the first recordings of the bongo can be heard performed by the groups Sexteto Habanero, Sexteto Boloña and Septeto Nacional. These and other early recordings have been reissued on several record labels including Tumbao and Corason.

Mr. Victor "Papo "Sterling, an avid bongocero and OMO AÑA sworn bata player (some of his work can be heard on the Recording "Santissimo" by Emilio Barretto & Orlando "Puntillo" Rios) states: "It's believed that Bongos as we know them today evolved from the Abakua Drum trio "bonko" and it's lead drum "Bonko Enchemi"

These drums are still a fundamental part of the Abakua Religion in Cuba, which is still only accessible to the Initiates. Even today, these drums look much like the bongos we know, if they were joined with a wooden peck in the middle."
