Liverpool Batala Samba
Band
Liverpool Batala Community Samba Band is part of the international family of
Batala.
Batala is a form of Samba Drum music which originates in Salvador de Bahia in
North Eastern Brazil.
The powerful and hypnotic big drum sound captures the vitality of Brazilian
culture and produces an exciting fusion of rhythm, movement and costume.
Award winners at the 2003 and 2005 and 2006 Notting Hill Carnivals, Batala Europe
offer a range of performance options from modest events which require a real
difference to large parades and festivals. This non-profit making group exist to
promote Samba music and cross culture relations both within the UK and
internationally. We support social enterprise
within these communities.

From the official launch of events, with the Liverpool Institute for
Performing Arts' (LIPA) tenth anniversary celebrations (at which Batala
Liverpool gave two stunning performances), to a New Year's Eve - which leads to
Liverpool's 800th birthday year, 2006 promises to be a fantastic year of
performance. The Liverpool Performs 2006 website has details of events
throughout the year - not least of which we hope to be a world class Batala Drum
extravaganza - the Batala Encontro 2006.
Some of the press coverage of Whats On for the encontro can be followed on
