Tamborera is a genre of Panamanian folk music.[1][2][3] It is a mixture of Panamanian Tamborito and Cuban Danzón, created by the musician Ricardo Fabrega during the first half of the twentieth century.
The Tamborera was created by Ricardo Fabrega[4] in the first half of the 20th century, to exalt nationalism and identify the Panamanians with their traditions.
This is recognized by journalist Ignacio Nacho Valdes, who said: "His compositions, of a deep romantic content, have the purpose of exalt the national soul of Panamanians, and therefore, through generations, our people have sung his songs sometimes with joy and often with a deep melancholy. "His music traveled to all corners of the country and internationally and has been the enjoyment of all classes
The Tamborera became known throughout Latin America with the famous song "Guararé" that is today part of the classics of Latin American music, with "Santiagueñita", "Chiricanita", "Agüita de canela", "Mi negro", "El filo", "Chichaco por los aires" and " Tan Bella y Presumida"
The genre gave life to real stars. Among these the most famous was Silvia De Grasse who brought her career to developing gender cusp outside the Panamanian border, especially in Puerto Rico, where she was recognized by the Puerto Rican television for her talent.
Instrumentation
Tamborera uses a mix of several traditional Panamanian drums: the Repicador, the Pujador, and the Caja. Organ, piano, electric guitar, trumpet, bass guitar and other drums, which are not typically found in Panamanian music, are also used.
