pandeiro

The pandeiro has its origin in arabic regions. The small frame drum has become a very popular symbol of Brazilian drumming culture throughout all of Brazil. The small drum has been beautifully assimilated to all the local music styles: played with synthetic head and loud jingles as part of Coco and Samba de Roda, with thick goatskin head and muted brass jingles in the Choro. In addition, a great variety of playing techniques and modern sound concepts have been developed on the pandeiro for Choro, Samba, Frevo, Cavalo Marino, Capoeira etc.
