SambaHero on Windows Pc

Samba Hero is a guitar hero style samba batucada game with Brazilian percussion instruments.

The origin of the batucada is in the African cultures where groups of drums and different percussion instruments have always been given for popular festivities. The word batucada is attributed to a religion born in Brazil derived from the Yorubas, the batuque, where music is put at the service of the gods. In any case, the batucada is not clearly linked to religion but is rather a form of musical expression typical of Brazil.

The batucada is basically a group of percussionist musicians, known as bloco or drums, who play various Afro-Brazilian rhythms and also musical styles such as enredo, samba reggae, timbalada, candombé and maracatú. The main Brazilian instruments that are played are the surdo, the caixa, the timbal, the repique (or repinique), the agogo, the tamborim. Batucada has flourished in Brazil, mainly in carnivals, where batucadas are formed with more of 2000 percussionists and dancers, so that the Brazilian batucada is the prototype of the movement that is seen all over the world at carnivals.
