Synopsis
Synopsis

One of Singapore’s most established Brazilian percussion ensembles make their return bigger and better than ever! Across two sets, this narrative-driven show will bring you on a journey through Baracuda Batucada’s evolution, performed by 18 generations’ worth of musicians.

 

The first set is filled with exhilarating fast-paced songs, alongside the group’s original repertoire and traditional Brazilian tunes, which they have never performed before. This will be followed up by the ensemble’s second set that is a bit more relaxed with a tighter groove, representing the new era of Baracuda Batucada. The ensemble aims to show their versatility, growing from merely technically-proficient musicians into all-rounded performers, showing off new moves that will be sure to get you dancing along!

 

Reinvigorate your senses with both old and new eras of the ensemble as they forge ahead towards a brighter future with energy and strength!
