Music by various composers, generally without a lyric

During the 1930s through the 1960s, Latin American music was very popular in the U.S., and many dance beats were borrowed from music of Mexico, Brazil and Argentina. La Conga was one of these. The term "La Conga" refers to a dance beat in much the same way as The Samba, The Rhumba, etc. La Conga is often danced in a line with people holding on to each other's hips like a big snake. There were many different melodies and dance steps for La Conga dancing, but often musical credits do not provide a particular name. So, this is just a catchall for Congas featured in films that I have (at least as yet) not found a specific name for.
