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 engineered for high tension, and “Light” series designed for fatigue-free street playing. 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 coincidence that artists like Gabriel Policarpo have signature models and names like Monobloco, Demônios da Garoa, Sorriso Maroto, and Claudia Leitte choose their sounds. Contemporânea: the authentic pulse of Brazil, ready to elevate your groove.
