batedeira | about us
Since 1994
Batedeira, founded in 1994, is one of the first samba bands in The Netherlands.
The band consists of 25 musicians and has a large following. The enthusiasm and uplifting style of music are the
typical characteristics of Batedeira.
Batedeira is a hit on festivals, company parties and events. In The Netherlands but also abroad: Belgium, France, Germany, UK, Luxembourg and Denmark. The combination of a band (bateria) with dancers (passistas) makes us quite unique.
Batedeira offers a diverse mix of different Brazilian music styles such as samba, samba reggae, samba funk, samba-E, maracatu and coco. Naturally Batedeira uses traditional Brazilian percussion instruments.
