Batuko is a traditional dance and music style originating from the Cape Verde islands, particularly Santiago. It’s characterized by lively rhythms, energetic movements, and vibrant drumming. The dance often involves a circle formation with participants clapping, stomping, and moving in unison to the beat of the drums. The music and dance of Batuko are deeply rooted in Cape Verdean culture, reflecting the resilience, spirit, and joy of its people. #CVEI Credit : @afra_doss | Cap Vert En Images
