A free, not-for-profit drumming band open to all — powered by big beats, bold costumes & Afro-Brazilian rhythms. 🎶✨ 🎉🥁 Welcome to Batala Bermo! 🥁🎉

We’re all about big beats, bright colours, and carnival vibes! 🌈✨

REE — open to everyone regardless of race, religion, income, sexual orientation, or musical experience. If you’ve got energy, you’ve got what it takes! 💃🕺

💛❤️💚 Bermo is the local name for our seaside hometown of Barmouth, and we’re proud to be part of the worldwide Batala family with roots in Salvador, Bahia — the heart of Afro-Brazilian samba reggae. Batala’s infectious rhythms were created by Giba Gonçalves in Paris back in 1997, inspired by the sounds of his hometown in Brazil. Our music blends Afro-Brazilian traditions with carnival spirit — made to get you moving, smiling, and celebrating life! 🎶🔥

Even the name Batala has rhythm in it — a playful twist on the French for “hit there” and a nod to deep cultural roots in Yoruba traditions and the sacred bata drum, which travelled across the world bringing beats of joy, power, and unity. 🌍🥁

So when you see Batala Bermo in action — think carnival, community, and pure rhythm.

🥁🎉 It’s Notting Hill Carnival weekend! 🎉🥁

Although we sadly couldn’t be there this year, we’re sending HUGE love and the very best of luck to all our Batala Family from the UK and beyond as they drum their way around London to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Notting Hill Carnival! ❤️🖤

We’ll be cheering them on from afar and soaking up the Carnival spirit with them in our hearts. We hope everyone has an amazing weekend, make some noise and enjoy every beat! 🥁🔥

And here’s a picture of some of our very happy, smiley drummers from a few years ago when we were there. What memories! 😍
