La Conga De San Agustin
One of the older congas in Santiago, San Agustin frequently performs at Estadio Guillermón Moncada, the local Baseball stadium. They are also know for their innovative adaptation of timba and son to the conga ensemble; when they perform in this "concert" format they use the name El Charangon de San Agustin (a reference to the Cuba's best known Charangon, Orquesta Reve).
Below is my transcription (and transposition to the Key of C) of their "theme" which can be heard here. Another version, from this album with a slightly different melody can be heard here.
There are at least two slightly different versions of this coro:
VERSION ONE: (FROM CALLES Y CONGAS)
Vamo a bailar
Vamo a gozar
Con el tamarindo de San Agustin
VERSION TWO: FROM THIS ALBUM
Vamo a gozar
Con El Pin Pin Pin
Con el tamarindo de San Agustin
