Brazilian Voices & Fushu Daiko: Taiko & Batucada

Prepare for a thunderous collision of cultures as Brazilian Voices and Fushu Daiko bring their electrifying fusion of Taiko and Batucada to the Amaturo Theater at Broward Center for the Performing Arts in Fort Lauderdale. On Saturday, May 9, 2026, two of the world's most visceral percussive traditions collide in a singular, unforgettable evening — the thundering precision of Japanese Taiko drumming interwoven with the joyful, rhythmic fire of Brazilian Batucada. Fushu Daiko is renowned for their physically commanding performances, where enormous Japanese drums are struck with full-body intensity, filling every corner of the theater with waves of resonant sound. Brazilian Voices adds layers of samba-infused percussion and vocal richness, channeling the infectious spirit of Carnival directly onto the Amaturo stage. Together, these two ensembles create a rhythmic dialogue that transcends borders, inviting the audience into a shared heartbeat that spans continents. The intimate yet acoustically superb Amaturo Theater provides the perfect setting for this sensory experience — close enough to feel the vibrations in your chest, grand enough to appreciate the full spectacle of ensemble performance. Whether you're a world-music devotee, a percussion enthusiast, or simply seeking a night unlike any other, this cross-cultural celebration of rhythm and community is not to be missed.
