Brazil/France/Singapore/Australia
Their sound is big, BAD 'n beautiful. With influences from Africa and Brazil to Australia, the Bad Boys are a street-wise Brazilian percussion and dance troupe who fire up the samba beat and perform a rhythmic martial-art dance: the capoeira. Using traditional instruments, with a touch of turntable, Bad Boys Batucada rage on stage creating endless dance rhythms, complex tribal and urban pulse beats, and a continuous celebration of movement. These six musicians - now based in Melbourne - hail from Brazil, France, Singapore and Australia making an eclectic collective of great sounds.
