  • Tamborera is an Afro-Venezuelan folk genre of music that features rich use of the tambora drum in carrying the main beat. It emerged in the state of Zulia in western Venezuela, most notably in the region surrounding Lake Maracaibo. The prominence of the tambora drum and other percussive derivatives of African instruments, such as the furro and charrasca, are indicative of the Iberian and African influences on the tamborera, while the tropical rhythms that pervade throughout this style of music represent the influence of the Caribbean culture that is prominent in this part of Venezuela. The tamborera has also spread into many other styles, and tamborera rhythms underlie many of those found in Afro-Cuban genres of music.
