Transatlantic Timbelezan

I'm a recent immigrant to the US from Northern Ireland, and one of the things that cured my homesickness was stumbling across Timbeleza about 6 months after arriving here. The sound of samba pulled me out of the doldrums in Downtown Pittsburgh to Market Square, where I found just what I was looking for - a batteria of drummers playing the same rhythms I used to play in Belfast with another samba ensemble, Chidambaram. I play agogo (cowbell), shaker and tamborim.
