Carimbo is a traditional folk music and dance from Para in northern Brazil, shaped by African, Indigenous and Portuguese influences over centuries. Its name is linked to the curimbo, the large hollowed drum at the centre of the ensemble, alongside shakers, banjo and wind instruments. The style became widely known across Brazil during the twentieth century through radio and regional festivals. A Piripiri version brings that Para rhythm to a local town name, which helps explain why clips like this circulate for dances, parties and regional celebrations online today.
