In the participant search, type the first name and the two surnames (if the name is compound, one is enough) and choose the school. It shows the editions they appear in, with a link to the original source of each year.
No. The search works without signing up and without asking for private data: you only type a name and choose the school.
There is data for 16 editions, between 2008 and 2026. There is no data for 2009, 2010, and 2021.
Check that the school is the right one and try removing the second name or writing another variant of the surname: in the source it may be written differently. It may also belong to an edition with no data. If you still cannot find it, write to us.
The names come from the pages Diario Vasco dedicates to the children's companies of the Tamborrada; for the oldest editions, archived copies of those pages on the Internet Archive are read. It is not an official register: the lists are processed so they can be searched and may contain typos, which is why every search result links to its source.
Once a year: when the lists of a new edition are published, they are processed and added to the statistics and to the search. The latest edition included is 2026.
A participation is one record of a person in one edition. The same person can add several, one for each year they appear. That is why the number of participations is not the number of different people.
Yes. Write to us at contact@tamborradata.com stating the year, the name and the school, and we will review it.
Yes. The code of the interface, its components and its visualizations is public at github.com/ramistodev/tamborradata: you can read it, run it locally and suggest improvements. The internal pipeline that obtains and processes the data is not part of the repository.
