Batucada

Batucada is a style of Brazilian music and dance that is associated with samba. It is characterized by a strong, fast-paced percussion rhythm played on a variety of percussion instruments. Its origins date back to the 19th century, when African slaves in Brazil would use drums and other instruments to create music and dance that was meant to be both a form of expression and a form of entertainment. Today, Batucada is widely performed in Brazil and is a popular style of music and dance at parties and celebrations.
