We’d love to play for you!
We welcome the opportunity to perform in parades, festivals, corporate and private functions, so feel free to call us for a booking or to find out more information. You can hire us as a group of drummers and dancers, or you can hire us as a group of drummers only – it’s up to you.
Call Caroline on 021 546 815, or email the group on wellingtonbatucada@gmail.com
