Here's a small sample of a typical Batala performance. We work hard to bring a dazzling display of choreography to complement our percussion. This video demonstrates one of our most recent compositions, our usual performances combine a number of individual pieces carefully woven together to suit the event type and bring a strong sense of drama.
