Batucada Sound Machine

Batucada Sound Machine captivate audiences around the world with their mix of Brazilian, hip-hop and afro-beat sounds. BSM are regularly touring Australia, Asia and Europe and have performed at WOMAD, Sziget Festival, Horizonte Festival, Perth, Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide Arts Festivals and many other major festivals in Australia and around the world.

Blazing a trail in Europe, Australia and New Zealand the band’s breathtaking variety of tempos, timings, beats, styles and raw on-stage energy draws comparisons to Ozomatli and Manu Chao.


This 10 piece group draw on Brazilian, funk, hip hop, afro-beat and Pacific soul influences, featuring a three piece samba percussion line-up and a all-star horn section.


“Their high-energy gigs take in a breathtaking variety of tempos, timings, beats, styles and rhymes. They sing in portuguese, spanish and english and have drawn favourable comparisons with ozomatli, manu chao and chico science.”

Claire Prentice, Scotland On Sunday


“When a band causes the audience to stamp their feet for an encore... After they just played the encore, it’s pretty obvious their performance was shit-hot...”

Raciroo, Perth Festival review, Faster Louder

Batucada Sound Machine’s first single “Tremblin” was shot while on tour in the UK in 2006 and is a great representation of the band’s live performance.
