ABOUT US

Carabassamba is a nonprofit cultural organization, -founded in Muro (Mallorca) in 2012-whose main goal was to go in depth into the world of percussion and samba. Carabassamba has become the final project of the former batucada group “Renouers de sa Pedrera” formed in 2006.

In the beginning, we only performed in pyrotechnics shows but the need and the desire to learn is what encouraged the association to evolve in the world of percussion.

WHAT IS THE CARABASSAMBA FESTIVAL? The Festival is a meeting of Carabassamba batucadas from different parts of the island that has been running for over five years in Muro (Mallorca) where rhythms of drums and percussion are the main stars of the event.

It's a weekend where you can enjoy concerts, workshops, parties and special guests from beyond the island. The Carabassamba Festival is a good showcase within the field of percussion. In fact, there are many groups that work all winter to release their proposals and shows.

It is important to mention that, Muro, represented by Renovers’ batucada, was the first municipality to organize a meeting of batucadas of this magnitude in Mallorca. Then under the name of Carabassamba has become a reference because it marks the start of the batucadas season on the Balearic islands, the first weekend after the Easter holidays. In addition, it has always tried to have special guests at national and international levell
