Latin Music Neckties I

Presenting two rare neckties that have been preserved for a long while, dating back to Christmas 2023. It is based on the dominant Latin percussion instrument played by many musicians like myself; las congas ("tumbadoras").

Brief overview:
The first tie includes a moon, palm tree, trumpet, one conga, and bongo (with floral & tree design). Woven in a red, gray, and black abstract sequence.
The second tie features trees, vedettes, pineapples, and (yes)...congas.

This is from Latin Beat; certainly a brand folks can agree on, very rare to spot. I estimate these were in stock in the late 1990s - early 2000s.

Usually I wear these ties for concerts, band rehearsals, lessons & clinics. :)
