We work with event organisers, creative teams and cultural programmes to bring samba-reggae percussion into a wide range of settings.

Our approach
Samba-reggae is an Afro-Brazilian tradition shaped by rhythm, identity and collective expression.
At Batala London, we bring this tradition to life through powerful live performance — creating experiences that are as visual as they are musical, and as physical as they are rhythmic.
A Glimpse of Our Rhythm in Action
From London’s carnivals to international sporting events, we bring our sound to some of the most dynamic live settings.
Whether energising charity races, festivals or private celebrations, Batala London transforms events through rhythm, movement and shared experience.
