Batucada Sound Machine is back for a special New Zealand Music Month gig at 4:20 in Auckland on 22 May. The show will also features special guests Tama Waipara, Cherie Mathieson, Jennifer Zea.
Loosely translated, ‘Batucada’ means percussive samba jam. Throw in two guitars, bass, keyboards, a slick horn section and one of the NZ’s finest MCs, and you have BSM - Batucada Sound Machine. The 12-piece super group has evolved from impromptu “batucada” sessions to become one of the country’s most sought after acts.
We have two double passes to see BSM at 4:20 on 22 May for a ticket competition. To be in to win, tell us what your favourite persussion sound is...drums, kids banging on desks, rhythm on the dashboard...put your ideas in the Comments section of the BSM event page and we'll pick the loudest winners to be off to the show.
