Tamboreiras de Rotterdam
Rotterdam women’s percussion ensemble carrying Cabo Verdean São João rhythms
Based in Rotterdam, Netherlands
Cabo Verdean tambores drive repeated, tightly coordinated rhythms designed for processions, public squares and communal dancing. Expect a concentrated live percussion performance built from ensemble pulse, emphatic accents and the physical force of multiple drums.
