Synopsis
In 1462 the first African slaves were deported to Cape Verde, 10 islands until then inhabited. They brought with them the rhythms and the roots of what became the BATUQUE, a women’s music. The singers repeat very strong lyrics, sitting in a circle and beating the rhythm with their hands on a piece of cloth between their legs, while a woman performs a very sensual dance in the middle of the circle with her hips. The Batuque accompanies every moment of the day in the island. The beat is constant. The documentary focus on the Batucadeiras group: “Raiz di Tambarina”.
