Batala is a form of Samba Drum music which originates in Salvador de Bahia in North Eastern Brazil. Batala was formed as the European wing of Cortejo Afro (a style of Brazilian Samba) by Giba Gonçalves in Paris in 1997. Since then, Batala has continued to grow, with bands forming in La Rochelle, Portsmouth, Liverpool, Barmouth and Bangor. Batala Lancaster was formed in February 2004, along with bands from Brussels in Belgium, Nantes in France and finally Brasilia and Goiania in Brazil.
