There is some confusion regarding where bongos originated from.
There is evidence and documentation that the bongo's first use was
in Cuba in the 19th century. A similar smaller drum of slightly
different construction called a Tbilat has been in use in North
Africa since the 12th century.
I've poured enough drinks to know that people don't always want advice—they just want to talk.

Bongo drums are thought to have originated in Cuba - the first
recorded instance of the drums was documented in 19th century Cuba.
A similar drum, however, was created in 12th century Africa.
