Bateria
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A bateria (Portuguese for "drums") is a Brazilian musical group, the percussion band of a Samba School. Outside Brazil, the term "bateria" is also sometimes used loosely to mean any musical ensemble that plays samba.
Baterias are also used to accompany the Brazilian martial art, Capoeira.
