In Brazil, the word is also used for a form of Brazilian samba band, the percussion band or rhythm section of a Samba School. #Batucada or #Batuko is characterized by its repetitive style and fast pace. The diaspora is truly undeniable. ✊🏿🇨🇻🇧🇷 #everythangculture #podcast #dance #culture #tradition #ritual #music https://www.instagram.com/p/CCcNMYxA9Ma/?igshid=ipwmumcg382q
