Since 1954, Gon Bops has created legendary latin percussion instruments including cajons, timbales, congas, bongos and other hand percussion.

The Gon Bops legend began in 1954 California when Mexican-American Mariano Bobadilla (born in Guadalajara) – who would go on to become one of the most highly-regarded conga builders in the percussion industry – started designing and building Conga and Bongo drums.
