The percussion genre is a dynamic and diverse realm of music centered around rhythm, texture, and intricate soundscapes. Encompassing a broad spectrum of global traditions, it includes everything from contemporary experimental percussion ensembles to Afro-Brazilian and Capoeira rhythms. Artists in this genre utilize a vast array of instruments—including marimbas, djembes, tambourines, and even unconventional objects—to create complex polyrhythms and rich, layered compositions. Drawing from classical, folk, and modern influences, percussion music can be both meditative and electrifying, highlighting the percussive elements that drive musical expression across cultures.
