Maracatu Pacífico
Maracatu Pacifico is a percussion group dedicated to studying and performing the rhythms and songs of Maracatu de Baque Virado of Pernambuco in northeastern Brazil. We play both traditional maracatu Nação (our main influence is Estrela Brilhante do Recife) and the Bate Livre style of Maracatu Badia of Olinda. Our rehearsals are by invitation only, but everyone is always welcome to come and listen!
We got together for a maracatu singing workshop with Jeremy Parker 🎤 so much gratitude for Jeremy’s teaching and for everyone sharing their beautiful voices in community!
What is Maracatu?
Hear from our very own —an inspiring musician rooted in Pernambuco, Brazil, and a valued member of the community. Paulo shares the history, spirit, and deeper meaning behind the rhythms that guide our work. 🥁✨
We’re grateful to learn, play, and grow together through voices like his.
