My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 2/7/2007
Band Members:
Influences: Brazilian rhythms and new ideas for big drums.
Sounds Like: After having seeing the world famous percussionist Jorge Martins lead “Maracatu NY” through the streets of Manhattan, the Brazilian singer Elisa Sohlman decided to bring this astonishing rhythm to the cold streets of Stockholm and in March 2004 together they founded which would be the first maracatu group in Sweden.Baquetum has its roots on the traditional maracatu from the Northeast of Brazil, however we spice it up with other musical elements and a random of different beats giving it our very own reading and approach.The group is musically directed by percussionist Michel Reisler with the assistance of percussionist David Stenson. The ensemble consists mostly of ladies, 21 members with a mix of the most various nationalities!Normally you will see us playing regular percussion instruments as our alfaias, caixas, agogôs, gonguês and abês, but don’t get surprised if you catch us beating on something unusual as a frying pan: we may hit on almost anything we get our hands on.So contact us if you feel like grooving to our sound or if you are interested in attending our workshops.For bookings and workshops, please email [email protected]! /Baquetum
