About Contemporânea
Contemporânea has been synonymous with Brazilian percussion since 1946. Founded in São Paulo by the visionary Miguel Fasanelli, the brand became a benchmark for samba drum kits, blocos, and all kinds of carnival ensembles. Their instruments blend tradition with industrial precision: aluminum shells and carefully selected woods, hardware designed for high tension, and “Light” series crafted for playing comfortably on the street. Their pandeiros feature lightweight solutions: superlight flat-profile hoops, frames with formica laminate, hammered brass jingles, and 6 tension rods for quick tuning; options in natural skin, nylon, or napa leather shape the character of each model. The family includes surdos, repeniques, caixas, tamborins, cuicas, timbales, and rebolos, all made in Brazil. It’s no surprise that artists like Gabriel Policarpo have signature models and that names such as Monobloco, Demônios da Garoa, Sorriso Maroto, and Claudia Leitte choose their sounds. Contemporânea: the authentic pulse of Brazil, ready to elevate your groove.
