The culture behind the craft

Before it is an instrument, it is a voice.

Every instrument in this workshop is born of Afro-Brazilian tradition — carried from the terreiros of Salvador and the drumming traditions of West Africa. Read how the rhythms of Bahia are played, and why an instrument made here carries more than its materials.
