Samba Batucada from Vienna Escola de Samba Baturim
We have specialized in Samba percussion – based on the model of the Samba schools in Rio de Janeiro. The musical carnival tradition in the former capital of Brazil has developed over a long period of time and requires great care if it is to be performed authentically. Since we love this rhythm, we care about ist and treat it almost like our own child. And you will hear that!
