Very strange that this entry on "batuque (music)" doesn't mention the prominent Brazilian rhythm and use of the word. A precursor to samba in Rio, a hint of the meaning of batuque in the Brazilian context is conveyed on the Portuguese Wikipedia -- but not much: Batuque

Response to "Untitled."

I agree with you that Brazilian batuque should be mentioned in this article, however, please note that the music and dance originated in Cape Verde and were taken to Bahia, Brazil by enslaved peoples during the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. Batuque (in Brazil) was indeed a precursor to the samba, which originated in Bahia and eventually went southward to Rio.

I am sorry but you are not entirely correct. The word “batuque” in Portuguese is a derivative from the word “batucar” which means “insistingly hitting” (check bater). What most of Brazilians don’t know is that the religious manifestation called batuque in Brazil comes from a much older word.

The Cape Verdean batuque has no relationship with the Brazilian batuque.
