The musicians of Son Shumbera are:

	Alabarce (Repique - Chapas - Silbato - Timba - Guido) The director of the Samba Reggae is multi-musical, plays various instruments and all with ease and a great sense of rhyth. But he makes high demands on the others, because if it doesn't sound perfect he's not satisfied.
Antonia (Toni) (Surdo de fondo - Surdo en medio - Chapas - Campanas - Pandereta) This globetrotter travelled for 158 countries before setteling in Andalucía, and because she is essential for the group we don't allow her to travel any more but to go on tour with Son Shumbera.
	Carlos (Repique - Timba - Tamborín - Pandereta - Surdo en medio) The director of the Rumba lives in Benagalbón. Sometimes we practice on the roof-top of his house to reach a very high level.
Daniela (Agogos - Semillas Brasileñas) She is the proof that Andalucian girls know how to dance before they can walk. She was part of the group even before her day of birth and was born with the rhythm already in her vains.
	Hugo (Surdo de fondo) On the 1st of august 2009 he entered the Guiness-book, being the youngest drummer in the world. Although his drum is 4x bigger then he is, his solos make him the favourite of the ladies in the audience.
Jesús (Surdo de fondo - Caja - Güido) The most sexy man of Benajarafe and surroundings preferred to play the samba with us above going on world-tour with Shakira (that's why she now travells around with Alejandro Sanz, who was second on her list).
	Jota (Repique - Campanas - Timba - Caja) He was the absolute crack of the group. We lost him by accident but nevertheless he's with us at every repetition and during every one of our concerts.
Mar (Vocals - Tamborín) Because she was not allowed to sing on the catwalk Mar changed it for the stage and became the beautiful voice of Son Shumbera.
	Montse (Repique - Medio surdo - Campana - Tamborín) This pretty Malagueña danced before she could walk, very handy when you play music with such a high level of movement. She knows the only people that DON'T like samba: her neighbours.
Oscar (Surdo de fondo - Chapas - Campanas - Acrobacias) After years in the Toni Boltini-circus he gave up his carreer as an acrobat to play with Son Shumbera. But blood crawls where it can't go and so every now and then he shows his juggler-skills on stage.
	Pili (Medio surdo - Tamborín - Campana de vaca - Repique) Music-teacher and therefor the only one in the band that really knows what she's doing. Pili also invents the choreoghapy for the tamborineros.
Ronaldo (Medio surdo - Tamborín - Silbato - Caja - Shouting) A Dutch that plays samba? First we took off his wooden shoes and then we sent him to a couple of dance-courses. His dream is to play in La Rosaleda.
	Salva (Surdo en fondo - Caja - Campanas) The most popular supplier of butane of Rincón practices every day, playing the Repsol gas cylinders. Always takes his surdo-del-fondo with him on the backseat of his "trike"-motorbike, allthough sometimes the drum steps down before he does. It's impossible that a day is boaring when Salva is around.
Sandra (Medio surdo - Repique - Chapas - Campanas - Tamborín) The benjamin of the band plays her drum just as easy as she makes saltos on waterskies or scores goles in the friday-indoor-football-league.
	Sansebastian (Caja - Repique - Campanas) Studied classical percussion in Viena (Mozart, Beethoven, Tchaikovski). His parents don't permit him to play something "popular" like Samba so he decided to play incognito in Son Shumbera
Santi (Caja - Repique - Medio surdo - Silbato - Campana - Chapas - Timba - Jambé - Tabla de lavar - Pandereta) Our argentinean teacher is the last in the alphabetic order but the first on stage. Specialist in every instrument and a legend of samba. He only has one vice: he is fan of Atlético de Madrid...

Son Shumbera - Batukada is a samba-band from Benagalbon, Malaga (Spain). For info about performances, contact our manager.
