Tucanas

 
 

Influenced by their activity in areas as diverse as Theatre, Dance, Traditional Portuguese Music or Rock and inspired by Portuguese, African and Brazilian traditions, the five-woman team of Tucanas are composers and authors of their own themes, interpreted with bidons, cabaças, drums, surdos, djenbés, dumbas, in a performance with a strong visual element.

“More than a feminine project, Tucanas have a different style, wanting to make percussion music and seeking to explore new sound qualities and an original artistic expression.” Lusa Agency, N. Lopes, October 2002
