BATUKE! has a long tradition of inviting artists that are reknown for the quality of their work, their expertise and ability to communicate to a diverse audience. The festival encourages artists to share their various paths and experience to connect with other artists through exchanging good practices in an open and dedicated cultural space which focuses on the Afro-Luso diaspora. This year, the focus is on Carnival traditions: Carnival has always been a special space where cultures fuse rhythms and trends to create new ideas. The Carnival theme will run throughout classes, shows and parties!
