Batutas is the new name of the Berlin-based band Choro ao Cubo. We are playing concerts since 2007.
The music is, as the name implys, Choro. It developed in Rio de Janeiro round 1870 and turned to be the first urban musicstyle in Brasil.
We tried to consider every stage of the evolution of this music, but as we have a mandoline in the band, we came up playing a lot of tunes by Jaco do Bandolim, one of the Stars of Choro.
Since the 50's singers put words to the up until then instrumental music and we also invite- if wanted- a singer: Anne Altenburg.
