Repique / Repinique Definition:
The repinique, also known as repique, is a cylindrical percussion instrument with a sharp, dry and cutting sound. Its shell can be made of wood or metal, and it uses plastic or natural heads. Originally from Brazil, it is a key instrument in samba, where it leads breaks, calls and rhythmic variations. Its fast attack and strong projection make it essential in batucadas, carnival ensembles, samba groups and street percussion bands.
