A capoeira atabaque is a percussion musical instrument used in capoeira, a Brazilian martial art that combines elements of fighting, dance and music. The atabaque is essential in capoeira, since it sets the rhythm and cadence of the different sequences of movements and games of the capoeiristas.

The atabaque is played by striking the leather with the hands or a drumstick, and the player can vary the sound and rhythm by changing the shape and strength of the blows. Through the atabaque, the different touches (rhythms) of capoeira are transmitted, which define the style and energy of the game.

In capoeira, the atabaque not only serves a musical function, but also plays a cultural and spiritual role. It is a symbol of tradition and connection to ancestors, and its characteristic sound evokes the energy and history of capoeira.
