The traditional music group Tambacum from the Golfo de Tribugá is a community process that was born on May 20, 2020 in the municipality of Nuquí, Chocó in the Calle de la Virgen neighborhood. 

Tambacum connects with ancestral knowledge, nature and roots through music and different artistic expressions that allow the internal community fabrics to be regenerated between different generations (children, young people and the elderly), rescuing ancestral wisdom.

Tambacum's presentations as a musical group carry the entire history of cultural and neighborhood experiences through rhythms such as Tamborito and Cumbancha. Their voices, drums and energy make the hearts of those who attend presentations beat.
