Les Tambours du Bronx in Pau

Les Tambours du Bronx are a French industrial-percussion group formed in 1987 in Varennes-Vauzelles. The ensemble is known for coordinated performances on metal barrels, struck with heavy wooden handles, and for albums including Silence, Monostress and Weapons of Mass Percussion, which brought metal guitars and vocals into its percussion-led sound. In 1989, the group performed on the Champs-Élysées during the celebrations marking the bicentenary of the French Revolution. Three years later, its large percussion ensemble appeared in the ceremonies for the Winter Olympics in Albertville.
