This is a small sample of the traditional dance of Batuk. The beat that the women are playing is the traditional beat. However the song being sung now aer usually about Social issues. These were "batukadeiras" from Pilão Cão, Ponta Verde, Rabelado, and some other zones that I can´t quite remember at this very moment. This is one of the coolest experiences during the meeting. I felt a connection and such a shared pride for these women dancing and singing. They loved it...this is a dance that, as they will tell you, was born out of pain and suffering and they will also tell you that you have to find joy and motivation anyway you can, even through dance and song.
