All inhabitants of the village of Gavoi join sos Tumbarinos during het carnival period. The people gather with their drums at the central square opposite the church. Everybody is dressed in black, with black faces.
Sos tumbarinos are the drummers that in the days of the Carnival held in the streets of Gavoi, country in the heart of Barbagia, playing wildly on drums hand-built skins of sheep and goat. The real star of this carnival is in fact just the sound, "Sonu on". The drums of Sos tumbarinos are accompanied by "on pipiolu" (the pipe), "on triangulu" (the triangle) "and" on tumborro ", a serraggia, stringed instrument made from a bladder of animal. The Carnival of Gavoi, which probably originated from the ancient Dionysian rites, starts from Fat Thursday until dawn the following Wednesday. The night of Mardi Gras gives farewell to the party on a burning pyre Zizzarone, the puppet king of the carnival.
