“Meu Atabaque é de Couro de Boi”
The Atabaque is one of the most important instruments in traditional Afro-Brazilian music. It is present in Capoeira, Samba, Candomblé and many other Afro-Brazilian cultural practices. In Capoeira, it is the Atabaque that helps the players hold on to the rhythm. A good Atabaque can be made of bull’s skin. That’s why we sing “Meu Atabaque é de Couro de Boi!” (my atabaque is made of bull’s skin).
