All-female Cabo Verdean drum group from Rotterdam
Based in Rotterdam, Netherlands
Expect group drumming that sits on the border between procession and party, with the emphasis on pulse, ensemble impact, and call-and-response energy. The festival description suggests a direct, physical live set centered on Cabo Verdean rhythm rather than a polished concert presentation.
Tamboreiras de Rotterdam are presented as the first Cabo Verdean all-female drumming group from Rotterdam, which places them in the city’s Cabo Verdean diaspora scene. They appear in Sounds of Cabo Verde, LGW’s day built around Cabo Verde music culture and the Netherlands-based diaspora around it.
The group was founded two years ago and their performances have been in high demand.
