   About Batatân

Batatân Batatan

Batatân play Funky Afro-Brazilian/Cuban rhythms, on traditional Brazilian carnival drums and percussion instruments.
We perform regularly at Carnivals and events throughout South Wales.

New members are always welcome, we are open to everyone, all ages, levels and abilities. No experience needed, just bring energy and enthuthiasum. The emphasis is on fun and participation.
Singers and Dancers are also welcome. Would love a bit of Brass too, if anyone's up for it!

We practice weekly on Wednesday nights, send a message via this site or email here if you're interested

*Batatân is a Community Samba Band, formed with the help of Newport's Maindee Festival in 2001. We are a non-profitmaking and mostly self-funded.
