Is "Conga" really a conga?

Is "Conga" by Gloria Estefan really a conga or a samba? :confused:

Just like "Mambo #5" is really a Jive. And that recent song with the words "everybody do the Cha Cha" is a Samba.

Ahhh, the "If a song has a dance in its name, it's definitely not that dance" rule. As I suspected.

Actually, to me, "Conga" is more of a fast salsa...
