Collection: Carimbo
Carimbo is a vibrant and rhythmic genre of Brazilian music that originated in the northern state of Pará. This lively style blends African, Indigenous, and European influences, creating a unique sound that captures the essence of Amazonian culture. Characterized by its infectious beat and call-and-response vocals, Carimbo often features traditional instruments like drums, rattles, and flutes. The genre has evolved to include modern variations, such as Piseiro, which incorporates electronic elements and contemporary pop influences, and Bloco, which emphasizes larger percussion ensembles and is often associated with carnival celebrations. Whether enjoyed in its traditional form or through its modern offshoots, Carimbo continues to be a beloved and integral part of Brazil's rich musical tapestry.
