Brazilian percussion is a vibrant and rhythmically complex music genre deeply rooted in the rich cultural tapestry of Brazil. It encapsulates a variety of traditional rhythms, such as samba, maracatu, and axé, often driven by an array of indigenous, Afro-Brazilian, and contemporary percussion instruments like the pandeiro, surdo, and berimbau. The genre is characterized by its dynamic polyrhythms, syncopation, and the joyous celebration of communal music-making. Pioneering artists like Naná Vasconcelos and Dudu Tucci have infused these ancestral beats with modern influences, while groups like Olodum have brought the pulsating sounds of the streets to international stages, making Brazilian percussion a symbol of the country's diverse and euphoric sonic heritage.
