Steeped in this universal history, the 17 musicians who make up the Tambours du Bronx resonate with other nuances; industrial, metallurgic, the nuances from blue-collar neighborhoods, all of which can resonate in China. They reverberate, squeak, slam, vibrate, and create an almost hypnotic frenzy. Let yourself soak in this crazy energy!
