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 groups. Their instruments combine tradition with industrial precision: aluminum shells and selected woods, hardware designed for high tension, and “Light” series crafted for playing on the street without fatigue. For pandeiros, they focus on lightweight solutions: superlight flat-profile hoops, frames with formica sheets, 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, timpanis, and rebolos, all made in Brazil. It’s no coincidence that artists like Gabriel Policarpo design their own models and that 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.
