Definition of Repique / Repinique:
The repinique, also known as repique, is a cylindrical percussion instrument recognized for its sharp and cutting tone. Its shell can be made from wood or metal and it uses plastic or natural drumheads. Originating in Brazilian music, it plays a central role in samba ensembles, where it leads breaks, rhythmic calls and variations that guide the rest of the percussion section. Depending on the style, it is played with one or two sticks. Its bright sound and rhythmic authority make it a fundamental instrument in samba bands, carnival parades and percussion ensembles.
