Barbatuques - Early Show

For 25 years, Barbatuques have been redefining what it means to make music with the body.

From São Paulo to stages across 30+ countries, their performances turn hands, feet, and voices into instruments, creating a language of rhythm, melody, and movement that’s uniquely their own.

Barbatuques’ sound spans Brazilian and global styles - samba, funk, carimbó, rap and beatbox - blending tradition with experimentation. A performance by Barbatuques is immersive, rhythmic, and joyous - a living celebration of music as movement, culture, and community
