'''Timbal''' is a term sometimes used to refer to Cuban [[Timbales]], but also used to refer to a relatively modern [[Brazil]]ian [[musical instrument]].
A slightly conical drum, of varying sizes, is usually light in weight and made of lacquered wood or metal with a tunable nylon head. The drum is most often found in [[Bahia]], originating in [[Salvador, Bahia]], and is used mainly to play [[Samba-reggae|Samba Reggae]] and its variants. They are played in a similar manner to the [[Atabaque]], another hand drum a version of which had been brought to [[History of Brazil|Brazil]] in [[slavery]] and is used in [[Candomblé]] rituals. In the 1980s, a music/social movement was organized to give Timbal to popular music. This was idealized by [[Carlinhos Brown]]'s with their group [[Timbalada]].
