Samba Trovão

Samba Trovão is a samba reggae percussion group in the traditional style of the Bloco Afros from Brazil.  

​

The basic rhythms come from a mixture of traditional rhythms of African origin.

​

Samba reggae is a percussive style that characterizes, in conceptual terms, the glorification of blacks and, in musical terms, the re-foundation of sounds of afro-americans.

​

The rhythm was drawn from the dialogue between percussion instruments and vocals.  Samba-reggae comes together in drums with surdos, repiniques, timbal and more. 

​

The rhythm has been designed with core elements; a band formed by various kinds of drums, where each performer enhances their instruments; the choreography of the drummers and the themes of the songs that plunge into the joys and pitfalls of the world community.
