Timba(al) are a fairly recent addition to Brazilian Samba. Much used in Samba Reggae, these light conical drums often take a solo role much in the same way as a djembe in African music.
- Until the end of the 1980's the timbal was merely a small, inconspicuous accompanying instrument in samba sessions. But suddenly the energetic Carlinhos Brown and his fellow musicians had the idea to hang it around their necks like a Djembe and call their band: "Timbalada"!
- This brilliant idea made the timbal famous worldwide!
- The sound of the timbal with its clear and concise high tones and its strong bass is a reminiscent of the West-African Djembe...
