A high energy Brazilian band mixing funk rhythms fro the ‘70s with Afro-Samba, Soul, Jazz, R&B, and Batucada, with founder and leader Diogo Oliveira on bass, Mari Macedo, vocals, Cezar Santana, guitar, Carlomagno Araya, drums, Luciano Stazzone, percussion, Mauricio Quiros, keys, Brian Wolfe, sax, and Cisco Dimas, trumpet.
Batuke is the act of drumming on any surface, or with any object, that makes a sound. Recycled cans, plastic buckets and pieces of scrap metal have all been transformed into percussive instruments that enhance the musical atmosphere of this group established by Diogo Oliveira in 2008.
