Batucada Sound Machine Hit Australia
January 24th 2009 03:06
Batucada Sound Machine
New Zealand's 13 piece hip hop, funk, samba mash-up group Batucada Sound Machine are bringing their crazy Brazilian percussion based performance to Australia for a week long tour this February. As they explain, "Loosely translated, ‘batucada’ means percussive samba jam, which aptly summarises BSM’s musical roots. BSM began in 2003 when five passionate drummers met once a month in the dimly lit lounge bar of Galatos nightclub in Auckland to experiment fusing 'batucada' with more local beats and influences. Before long, a talented group of diverse musicians had joined in and the band had grown to 13 members".
BSM 2
With the individual members of the band involved in various solo and group projects outside of BSM, you might recognise some of them from earlier works, most recognisably in upcoming MC Hazadus showing his own style of soul infused vocals after years of fame in Che-Fu and The Krates.
If your able to make one of these performances then your in for a sweet night, and from what i've heard and seen in their performances locally and in Europe, you might need to get your boogie shoes on for this one.
Batucada Sound Machine will play:
Feb 12 @ East Brunswick Club, Melbourne
Feb 13 @ The Factory Theatre, Sydney
Feb 14 @ Canival In The City, Canberra
Feb 15 @ Becks Music Box, Perth
Feb 28 @ Music Mountain Matakana, NZ
