In all its different sizes, all of which have multiple names, the tumbadora is the most common and popular drum in Cuba. It's used in many popular music styles like rumba, salsa and carnival music, as well as many types of religious ritual music such as bembé and guiro. The workshop will introduce the background of the instrument, how it's played (Cuban popular technique), and how its voice is used in a typical Cuban street/carnival music setting.
