Batekoo brings Afro-diasporic and Brazilian LGBT+ culture to Europe

“It is very important for us, as a collective that aims to spread black and peripheral Brazilian culture”

Batekoo, the largest platform and festival dedicated to entertainment, culture and education by and for the black and LGBT+ community in Brazil, is wrapping up its third European tour. With highlights in countries such as Portugal, England, Belgium, Spain, Switzerland and Germany, the tour celebrates the collective’s 10th anniversary.

European audiences have the opportunity to access a diversity of sounds that goes beyond the mainstream, exploring rhythms such as funk carioca, funk paulista, bregafunk, pagodão baiano, amapiano, hip hop, rap, trap, kuduro and afrobeats. Among the attractions on the tour are DJs Freshprincedabahia and Mirands, as well as live performances by Cris Masca.

“It is very important for us, as a collective that aims to spread black and peripheral Brazilian culture and the diaspora, to be on tour at this time, continuing to promote Brazilian rhythms that are increasingly recognized abroad. In fact, there is no nightlife in the world like Brazil, so we like to bring a bit of this experience to the stage both visually and musically,” highlights Mirands, DJ and former Masterchef.
