"Chill Island bounced to the sound of the thundering Tumbarumba. The whole island shook, penguins and seals were leaping out of the water and dancing while the crowd went wild to the amazing fusion of Brazil beats and great new songs. I have seen the future and it is Tumbarumba."
Mr. Chill
Chill Island Festival Director
“A really interesting twist on Brazilian music, It's excellent”
Francis Timbal (Head soloist of Brazilian Superband “Olodum”)
“Tumbarumba - Drums Percussion Voice and Dance”
For nearly the last decade Melbourne’s five-piece, rhythm strong collective Tumbarumba has become known Australia wide for their riveting Brazilian, Reggae, Funk, Samba and Hip-Hop beat laden concerts.
Finding its roots in the street music of Brazil and the rhythms of an Australian Samba School, Tumbarumba has evolved into a unique ensemble whose individual members bring to it a world of influences and raw energy that draws both audience and performers into a frenzy of celebration and freedom.
Tumbarumba consists of some of Melbourne‘s finest percussionists, past and present members have and continue to perform with some of Melbourne's best live bands including; Bad Boys Batucada, Bomba, Blue King Brown, Diafrix, Illzilla, LABJACD, Mista Savona, Oxo Cubans, San Lazaro & The Red Eyes.
“Tumbarumba is a simple and time-tested formula for intense partying”
Tumbarumba has worked and continues to work with some of Australias most exciting festivals and organizations, Including:
Our show on Fri 11 December at the East Brunswick Club, with a huge line up featuring Mojo Juju and the Snake Oil Merchants and Mikelangelo and the Tin Star; two of our very favourite acts. Hope to see you there

Keep in touch!
All good here Neda! Good to know you cought up with Nas and had a exo time... Yeah just imagine double bill tumba and San Laz in Spain...... Siiiiiiick!! Luv O
hey! i've been pretty good, really busy with work and folios. sadly, not too many fun photos, been a bit restricted to party snaps and the like but i have a shoot planned for late june so i'm all excited for that :)
well i was at a party in the bush and this lady who i thought was sexy said to me out of the blue if you were an animal you would be a crab i am staring into a fire in the middle of nowhere and she says i would be a crab
now in the beginning this made me feel a little weird who did this woman think she was no man would be happy with a crab right give him a tiger a lion a horse and eagle but a crab
as the night when on i developed a crab dance that took the heat off me a little bit seems people can love crabs especially when they dance there was crab sex in a tent later that night who would have thought a crab could do such things
two things i have learnt about the crab one is that its teeth are located in its stomach so if i the cab happened to ask that sexy lady to just relax and rest her head on my stomach well you know the rest and secondly if a crab loses his claw in a battle he can just grow it back which would make piano playing interesting
if you want to see the crab dance or the man she says reminded her of crab you can see him and his wonderful talented band this SAT 25 and SUN 26 at the TOFF IN TOWN Swanston St MELB CITY show kicks off around 8 its 10 dollars cause of the recession see you there
