SAMBA IS PASSION
A short trip to Ivson's instrument manufactory in Rio leaves us with itchy feet. The brand IVSOM is internationally known, German TV shows where the instruments come from and who actually invents and builds them!
LOVE AND PASSION FOR THE MUSIC IS ABSOLUTE NECESSARY FOR BUILDING INSTRUMENTS
"The secret how to build a good instrument is, that you need to know how to play it yourself". This is what Ivson says into the TV camera. We know it is true, the instrument maker and professional mechanic has been playing the caixa for many years and amongst others is one of the main distributors for the Samba school of Mocidade Indepentente de Padre Miguel.
