Les Tambours du Bronx

A French collective, whose original stated goal for forming (back in 1987) was to explore a percussive, "brutal," and "urban" sound and experience. Initially a group numbering 18, Tambours du Bronx started out as a tin- and metal-drum affair, but eventually grew to include keyboards, mixing decks, loops, and raps. In 2006, Les Tambours du Bronx issued a live DVD, which documented their then-current lineup (numbering in at 22) as well as their concurrent live performance arrangement.
