Why Choose the Izzo Junior Repinique?

The repinique, also known as the repique, is the lead voice in samba ensembles, used for calls, breaks, and driving rhythms. This junior 10" version offers all the character of a full repinique but in a smaller, lighter format, making it ideal for children and schools. Despite its reduced weight, the clever ribbed aluminium shell ensures durability and projection, so it remains as loud and vibrant as the standard models.

As the sole UK importer, we are proud to offer Izzo’s authentic Brazilian percussion instruments – perfect for samba players at every level.
