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 to play comfortably on the street without fatigue. In their pandeiros, they focus on lightweight solutions: superlight flat-profile hoops, frames with formica laminate, hammered brass jingles, and 6 tension rods for quick tuning; natural skin, nylon, or napa options shape the character of each model. The family includes surdos, repeniques, caixas, tamborins, cuicas, timbales, and rebolos, all made in Brazil. It’s no coincidence that artists like Gabriel Policarpo design their own 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.
