Zabumba aluminium 20''x20cm

20'' aluminium zabumba for authentic Forró and a north-east-Brazilian dance night out The zabumba is the heartbeat of any Forró-, Baião-, Xote- or Xaxado ensemble. Just like the surdo in Samba it plays the base and provides the pulse with its pushy rhythms and makes you wanting to jump up and dance with its syncopated beats.

A good zabumba player knows how to make you dance even if you are not much of dancer. Always on his side - the triangle, the accordion and a singer. A 20'' zabumba is a great and authentic size with strong bass line.Izzo produces well-made, solid and high-quality instruments at fair and affordable prices.What are you waiting for - grab your dance shoes or your za-bum-ba!
