Definition and origin of Batucada.
Inspired by the deep roots of Afro-Brazilian culture, Batucada is a vibrant and percussive musical style, born in the streets of Rio.
It is distinguished by its raw energy, its effervescent pace and its ability to unite people around powerful rhythms.
Traditional instruments like the surdo, tamborim, and agogo play a central role, forming a folk orchestra where every beat tells a story. At Atypic Groove, we celebrate this musical heritage by incorporating it into our immersive and festive events.
Activity overview: description of a participatory musical activity, immersion in a percussion orchestra
Presentation of the activity
During our Batucada performances, the audience is never just a spectator.
He becomes a full-fledged participant. Through a collective and vibrant experience, we offer total immersion in a real percussion orchestra.
Guided by our artists, participants take hold of the instruments, feel the pulse of the group, and discover the richness of Brazilian rhythmic language. It's a unique moment where everyone, regardless of their skill level, can be swept away by the group's energy.
Team building objectives: to strengthen team cohesion, promote listening, coordination, mutual support and collective dynamics
Team building objectives.
Our musical entertainment aims to strengthen human connections.
By creating a percussive performance together, participants are encouraged to listen, coordinate, and help each other.
This type of activity naturally reveals the mechanisms of team cohesion. It also develops mutual trust, stimulates collective intelligence, and fosters a spirit of effective and supportive collaboration.

Activity sequence
Each session begins with an introduction to the percussion instruments and the roles of each member within the ensemble.
After a playful distribution of responsibilities, an initial learning phase allows participants to grasp the basic rhythms.
This is followed by a period of guided rehearsal, culminating in a dynamic and rewarding group performance. The entire process takes place in a friendly and structured atmosphere, conducive to involvement and personal growth.
Educational values: self-improvement, stress management, development of confidence and sense of belonging
Educational values
Beyond the artistic aspect, our percussive activities promote profound learning. Rhythmic work improves stress management, concentration, and short-term memory.
It encourages everyone to step outside their comfort zone, to find their place in the group, and to express themselves differently. The values of solidarity, listening, and self-improvement are at the heart of our approach.
