Women’s Batucada Drumming Workshop ~ Sydney
Batucada (“But to cada”) - The origins of Batucada drumming trace back to Brazil’s African roots and Indigenous folk traditions where drum and dance were utilised as a form of survival, resistance, celebration and self-care through musical expression, connection and joy.
2 hour Women’s Drumming Workshop Circle with Marina Da Silva
Join Marina’s drumming circle and go on a fun journey into Afro-Brazilian rhythms! All you need to bring is yourself - all levels of drumming experience are welcomed (especially NONE) as Marina will joyfully remind you that rhythm and drumming are as natural as walking, as powerful as creation itself, and SO freeing and fun.
Instruments (and good times) are provided so get ready to learn something new and co-create juicy rhythmic jams together in a circle. Please arrive 15 minutes before class to get settled in and meet some friendly faces. This is a space for women+ to gather and experience the inspiring, healing and empowering benefits of drumming together in a women’s circle.

What is Batucada?
The origins of Batucada drumming stem from the African cultural influences on the musical landscape of Brazil, where it was common for people to gather around drums to dance and sing in honour and celebration of life. Batucada refers to the formation of a drumming ensemble, sometimes with dancers, singers and other instruments, and often in a street parade. Most commonly playing on a foundation of Samba, the national rhythm of Brazil, and also drawing upon other Afro-Brazilian musical styles such as Samba-Reggae, Maracatu, Ijexa and Maculele, one thing is for sure - when the Batucada comes past you can’t help but get swept along in this uplifting celebration of rhythms; you’ll be moving, clapping and singing along in no time!
