History

Batala in New York City was started in 2012 by Stacy Kovacs. After seeing Batala Washington in parades in New York City she inquired about starting a branch of Batala in New York City. She learned that starting a band was simple, and after she had spoken with Giba and getting his approval, she traveled to Salvador de Bahia [Salvador de Bahia] to march with Batala and Cortejo Afro. Cortejo Afro
Batala New York City is comprised of all woman. The mission of Batala in New York City is to offer the experience of samba reggae drumming to any woman with a desire to come and learn to play the rhythms of Batala. The band has grown in size to 75 members since their starting in 2012 and have played over 60 shows in and around New York City.
