Berimbau

Our basic, varnished model made from premium biriba wood straight from the banks of Bahia. Biriba wood possesses a few characteristics that make it ideal for building berimbaus: strength and flexibility with resistence. This unique combination give it the ability to be bent and strung with enough resistence to keep the wire taut and produce a full, solid sound. All berimbaus are shipped pre-married and complete with an arame, natural baqueta, caixixi, stone dobrão, and matching cabaça. Price: $69.95 |

At a shorter length and smaller cabaça (violinha) than our full-size versions, the tone quality produced will be slighly higher than that of a viola berimbau.

Let's be realistic--it's hard enough for adults to balance a five foot berimbau, let alone the kids! Give your child the chance to maneuver the berimbau and master the basic rhythms with a berimbau sized for their age. Crafted with the same attention to quality and hand-detailed care as our full-size berimbaus, our kids berimbaus are made from premium biriba wood and measure approximately 3.5 feet/106 cm. At a shorter length and smaller cabaça (violinha) than our full-size versions, the tone quality produced will be slighly higher than that of a viola berimbau. All berimbaus are shipped pre-married and complete with an arame, natural baqueta, caixixi, stone dobrão, and matching cabaça. Price: $34.95 |

Ever take on a crowded demo balancing three vergas in one hand, with baquetas, caixixis, and cabaças elaborately interwoven through your fingers on the other? Look no further. Virtual Capoeira berimbau bags are made with the traveling Capoeirista in mind. Built with a sturdy nylon weave and synthetic leather caps, they can hold up to eight berimbaus and survive being tossed in the back of your car. An oversized zipper top extends all the way to the top of the bag, making it a snap to take vergas in and out! Velcro pockets secure your baquetas and dobraõs for easy carrying, and we’ve even provided a clip on the reverse side to hang your cabaças and caixixis. Each berimbau bag comes with a padded, adjustable shoulder strap for added comfort. Choose the color that fits you best, or buy one to match your favorite street abadas! Price: $35.95 |

Cracked cabaças leave you with extra vergas? Don’t let them go to waste—choose from gunga, médio, and viola varnished cabaças to re-mix and marry with your verga collection. Like most Capoeiristas know, not every cabaça and verga can be thrown together to make a great berimbau, so we cannot guarantee that the cabaça(s) you receive will complement your verga(s) in size or sound. Berimbau cabaças cannot be returned or exchanged. That said, we also know how hard it is to keep quality cabaças in one piece. If you have extra vergas that can be mixed and matched to produce a good result, then an extra cabaça or two is just what you need. Our selection of cabaças come from our same line of full-size, varnished berimbaus. Price: $14.95 |
