Carimbo Events This Weekend in Athens

About Carimbo

Carimbó is a vibrant folk music and dance genre originating from the Amazonian region of Pará, Brazil, representing a cultural synthesis of Indigenous, African, and Portuguese influences. The music is traditionally centered around the curimbó, a large hand-struck drum carved from a hollow log, accompanied by instruments like the banjo, bamboo flute, and maracas. It is defined by a high-energy, syncopated 2/4 rhythm that drives its characteristic circular dance, creating an atmosphere of celebratory communal joy. As a rhythmic cornerstone of Northern Brazilian identity, carimbó served as a primary ancestor to modern styles such as lambada and remains a crucial element of the regional musical landscape.

Also known as: Kurimbó
