The Tambor: The Rhythmic Soul of a Nation

The "Tambor" (Drum) is the heart of Bomba and the pulse of Loíza. Specifically, the "barril de bomba," traditionally made from rum barrels with goatskin heads, is the central instrument. The drum is not just an instrument but a sacred object with deep roots in African heritage, a conduit for spiritual expression and communal connection. In his art, Lind often depicts the Tambor with anthropomorphic features, suggesting that the drum itself is alive with the spirit of his ancestors. This sticker captures the primal and sacred power of the drum, the instrument that calls the community together to dance, celebrate, and remember.
