Batuque (Brazil)
Batuque (drumming) was a general term for various Afro-Brazilian practices in the 19th century, including music, dance, combat game and religion. ''Batuques'', or drumming ceremonies were an important cultural activity among the African population. These performance circles were a regular occurrence on Sunday evenings and holidays, drawing large crowds of enslaved Africans. Laws introduced in 1822 allowed police to shut down ''batuques''.

In Bahia, the batuque dance evolved into various forms of samba, whil ...
