About

Terça & Quinta is the Batucada band of the performance troupe. As tradition stands, the band is made up of an array of drummers and other percussionists led by a director, who conducts and signals with whistles the various breaks, solos, whoops and hollers. In addition the band also features strings and a vocalist.

With no formal music training, but just his sheer love for the music and natural talent, Professor Rafael formed the band in 2008. The members of the band are all from Bantus Capoeira and apart from a couple of members, have also had no formal music training. Terça & Quinta is a band made up of a bunch of passionate people with the drive to learn and expand their knowledge and skill in Brazilian art forms. Together they experiment and churn out tunes which all add up to a delicious assault on the senses.
