I have no idea what this is saying. I did not know the word "rimbombo" and have found some dictionary definitions, but I am not sure if this is a figurative type statement or a literal one, and if it is literal, I am not sure which word to use.
Thanks for any help that can be given.

An intoxicating/maddening rumble
It seems to me that the sounds/ noise/music have an effect on the listener which draws them into an intoxicating rhythm almost tribal maybe and somewhat unbearable. Ossessionante is not obsessive but more like driving one mad.

Rimbombo Can also be echo or roar but without hearing the 'performance' it's difficult to choose between these words.

Obsessive resound
rimbombo can be a rumble, a roar.... in this case it is more like an echo, resound or a repetitive boom.
They are trying to describe this high and intense acoustic performance that created this loud and obtrusive reverberation that was breathtaking almost unbearable.

As resound it is not a noun I would use reverberation

Rimbombare is a verb, rimbombo is a noun. In English you can not use resound as a noun. I was just trying to explain Lara the meaning of it
