Welcome - we have some new followers, so we'd like to reintroduce our team members!

Meet Esteban "Tongo," the Master Artisan & Candombe Heritage Specialist at Acheré Percussion. Tongo is an Afro-Uruguayan percussionist and a master drum maker. He is a descendent of a traditional Afro-Uruguayan Candombe family, one of a few families that preserved the socio-cultural heritage of Candombe as a way of life. His studies in hand drumming cover Latin America, particularly Afro-Uruguayan and Afro-Cuban music.

Tongo currently has availability for Latin percussion hand drumming classes in the City of Brotherly Love & Sisterly Affection. For more info about his classes, feel free to contact Acheré Percussion by direct message on Instagram or Messenger.
