Batala Family parading

Batala London is a vibrant samba-reggae drumming group bringing rhythm, movement and collective energy to London’s streets and events. Beginners and experienced players play side by side, building powerful percussion together as one sound.

I went to a taster session early 2025 and by August 2025 paraded with Batala Mundo at the Notting Hill Carnival. Your turn next!

David, Batala London Member

That (newbie session) was a lot of fun yesterday and I send warmest thanks to you and everyone at Batala.
