Welcome to candombe.com (01-00)

The purpose of this website is to introduce you to this wonderful Afro-Uruguayan rhythm, it's origin, it's sound, images, and many of the people involved. You will learn about the three different tambores (drums), tambor piano, tambor chico and tambor repique, that when played together create this unique rhythm. We suggest that you travel through this site in the order it is presented, and take the necessary time to hear each of the sound samples wherever indicated. We hope this will be an enjoyable experience for you. By now you must be wondering, What is Candombe?

Cajon building (7/03)

      percussion builder specializing in the cajon (a wooden box drum originally from Peru & Cuba) and the marimbula (a Caribbean bass box similar to a large bass thumb piano). In both cases the player sits on the box to play. Afro-Cuban conga techniques translate well to the cajon. Cajons are used in Afro-Latin music, Flamenco, and also for many unplugged type sessions as simulating a drumset groove on the cajon is relatively simple to achieve.

Conga Queen (03/03)

A multi-talented pioneer and referred to by some as Australia's first lady of Latin percussion. Born in Melbourne, Australia, Bernadette was inspired by and drawn to music at an early age. Bernadette is known for her energetic solo phrasing with its melodic hooks that draw from her clarinet and violin studies. In addition to Latin, Bernadette also specializes in Afro Cuban, West African and Middle Eastern drumming. Bernadette has played at folk and world music festivals, municipal festivals, restaurants, parties, weddings, techno raves and corporate events. She has supported master musicians across many genres.
