I thought a tambu was a drum like what they use with kumina dancing.

Tambu today is performed mainly for entertainment and it has been observed that there is similarity in the dance movements to that of the 'Bele' of Martinique and Guadeloupe. Drums with singing form the musical accompaniment.

im doing jamaica for my country, im doing ambu dancing, i have learned The tambu dance takes its name from the drum referred to as “tambu” and is performed mainly for entertainment with couples facing and moving towards each other.

A lively flirtatious dance practiced in the town of Wakefield, Trelawny in Jamaica.
