The class will also include light choreography and Afro-Brazilian movement technique--appreciating the drum as an extension of the body. Every class will feature different rhythms, including Samba Reggae, Samba Duro, Samba Mambo, and Samba Afro. This class is for all levels. Instruments provided. All genders are welcome. No prior musical experience necessary. Batalá New York is an all-female percussion ensemble playing Afro-Brazilian music, primarily Samba Reggae — a genre originating in the state of Bahia in northeast Brazil. As its name suggests, Samba Reggae is world music that incorporates Brazilian samba and Caribbean reggae. Like Samba Afro and Axe music, Samba Reggae incorporates African rhythms preserved and honored through Afro-Brazilian religions such as Candomblé. All three genres have influenced Batalá's repertoire. During Carnaval every year, Samba Reggae is performed in the streets of Salvador, the capital of Bahia, by musical blocos with percussion sections numbering in the hundreds of drummers moving together. In the spirit of the tradition, Batalá New York’s performances are percussive, energetic and highly dynamic with colorful costumes and lively choreography.
