description Percussion has always been present in flamenco, exercising the essential function of keeping rhythm, through its three artistic representations: singing, dancing and guitar music, mainly through clapping, footwork and strumming respectively. The Peruvian box drum is one of the percussion instruments most recently incorporated into flamenco. The objective of this study is to analize the adaptation and musical evolution of the box drum in flamenco in order to analyze the role it currently plays in this genre. While it was discovered and brought to Spain by guitarist, Paco de Lucía, it was Rubem Dantas who adapted the Peruvian box drum to flamenco beats. The subsequent long line of percussionists, along with their varying interpretations and stylistic offerings, demonstrates the way the box drum has evolved in this musical genre. The flamenco box drum is an instrument that, without ever having been present in flamenco musical culture before, became from the very moment it was introduced, a habitual accompaniment of the different artistic manifestations related to this art form, to such a degree that its presence is considered practically indispensable in today’s flamenco.
