Bad Boys of Batucada

The Brazilian samba tradition is coupled with contemporary influences including hiphop, rap, funk, reggae and Australian rock and lively martial arts-like Capeira dance by Melbourne, Australia-based strap, Poor Boys Batucada. With several Latin percussion tools as well as the berimbau establishing a rhythmic, tribal-meets-urban, pulse, the group offers quickly increased to become among Australia’s best ensembles. Conceived throughout a bar-room discussion in Melbourne’s Latin one fourth, Bad Kids Batucada experienced their very best break if they had been invited to execute at Womad celebrations in Spain and Britain. Their sets had been so fascinating that these were asked to record a live recording for Womad’s RealWorld label. The producing recording, Kaboomba”, premiered in 1996. The group consequently performed within the soundtrack from the film, “A Seafood Called Wanda”.
