Based on the multiple drum configurations employed by some North Indian table players, Conga Tarang takes advantage of the melodic potential of six congas.

The use of tarang in the title is a distant reference to the multiple drum configurations employed by some North Indian tabla players. Tabla are inherently melodic when used in the usual pairs. When more are utilized, complex melodic activity can be created. In a similar way, Conga Tarang takes advantage of the melodic potential of six congas.
