We're Cakalak Thunder
from Greensboro North Carolina.
We've been bringing noise to the streets
since 2002. The rhythms we play are borrowed from
Brazilian samba. Samba emerged when the music of indiginous
latin american cultures mixed with that of Africans who were brought to
Brazil as slaves. It is a music of resistance and it carries with it a great deal of
history. We try our best to play it with respect for its roots and in the spirit of resistance
that it embodies.
On this website you can download MP3 files of us making a loud and boistrous ruckus, view photos of us in action, read a bit about how we got started, and learn about upcoming events in which we'll be taking part. Also, be sure to check out the links section to learn more about samba, see other drum groups, and find resources for starting your own revoltionary drum corps.
