Candombe drums

An even larger drum, called bajo or bombo (very large, very low timbre, accent on the fourth beat), was once common but is now declining in use.

Tamboriles are made of wood with animal skins that are rope-tuned or fire-tuned minutes before the performance.

They are worn at the waist with the aid of a shoulder strap called a talig or talí and played with one stick and one hand.

It is played on the side of the drum, a procedure known as "hacer madera" (literally, "making wood").

Some of highlights are: in Ansina school: Wáshington Ocampo, Héctor Suárez, Pedro "Perico" Gularte, Eduardo "Cacho" Giménez, Julio Giménez, Raúl "Pocho" Magariños, Rubén Quirós, Alfredo Ferreira, "Tito" Gradín, Raúl "Maga" Magariños, Luis "Mocambo" Quirós, Fernando "Hurón" Silva, Eduardo "Malumba" Gimenez, Alvaro Salas, Daniel Gradín, Sergio Ortuño y José Luis Giménez.
