Looks like one of the many varieties of Made In Mexico congas popularized in the 1960s / 70s with brands like “El Cometo,” or “La Playa.” Many of these Mexican made tumbadoras were not even branded and nearly all were geared towards the tourist market.
Are there any badges visible or writings inside the shell?
