The Drumbeat
Cultural Heritage
The cultural and symbolic importance of the Drumbeat of the Jew of Baena is reinforced internationally by the inclusion of this tradition, along with other Spanish expressions known as Tamboradas, drum rituals, in UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2018.
The “tamboradas,” ritual drum rollings, are one of Baena’s most emblematic traditions.

Percussion
in festivals
Under the designation of Cultural Heritage, the different ways of playing this instrument are included as a collective expression in the rituals of Lent, Holy Week, and the eve of the feast of Saint Joseph. More than 3,000 drummers make us vibrate every year during Holy Week.
A unique sound
born in Baena
The Drumbeat is linked to artisan activities in Baena, such as the making of drums, the crafting of Jewish helmets, and the embroidery of jackets, which combine different types of craftsmanship, including tinsmithing, goldsmithing, filigree, carpentry, saddlery, and tanning.
Materials: Beechwood hoops and elm hoops, brass/aluminum helmet, goat skin batter head, crystal snare head, hemp/synthetic rope, leather tensioners, and natural gut snare.
