Depuis plus de 30 ans, nous sommes tombés sous le charme de l'univers de la percussion africaine et brésilienne. Au cours de nombrex voyages, nous nous sommes de plus en plus passionnés pour l’esthétique, la beauté et la diversité des percussions, cloches et crécelles typiques de ces pays. Par notre passion pour la culture de la musique traditionnelle et novatrice du Brésil, nous avons crée la societé KALANGO en 2002, le commerce en ligne pour des percussions brésiliennes.
The Tiao le' atabaque is well made, by hand and very rustic and beautiful looking. The head is rather thin and the shell tops in contact with them need some sanding down, otherwise the head could tear. The overall all tone is very traditional, rather flat and subdued resonance.
Note: the stands of all 3 atabaque are the same and therefore the tops of each drum, together, are at significantly different heights.
dear customer, thank you for your feedback, in Brazilian music, atabaques aren't typically played in a set by one single person so different heights wouldn't be relevant as each atabaque is played by it's own musician (not like congas). I see our customer service has already contacted you. In case you had futher questions, do let us know.
