Incidentally, this pic is not posed. I'd been hanging around for quite a while waiting for (what I considered to be) a half decent [candid] composition opportunity. The girl mischievously pulling tongues while showing the 'Peace' sign obviously spotted me at the last moment. However, I didn't realise that until I saw the image on my home PC - in a larger size.

Batalá performs at the celebrations for the 2019 World Series Chammpion Washinton Nationals, November 2, 2019.

 

Have you heard - and seen - these people play? A fixture at DC parades and celebrations for a dozen years, Batalá empowers with strength, rhythm, and joy. Seek them out. #batalawashington @batalawashington

'a y-est ! L'edition 2018 en mode web-publication est là

Karnaval ! Carnaval de Paris, dimanche 11 février 2018.

 

L'édition 2017 est toujours là, à consulter de préférence en affichage plein écran : My advice is to not let the boys in,

Canaval de Paris, édition 2017

Je trouve l'effet 'turn page' moins réussi qu'avant,

et puis il n'est apparemment plus possible d'avoir le lien direct vers l'affichage plein écran,

mais bon, quand même...

 

Les éditions précédentes sont là aussi :

Karnaval !

Gambetta-République, dimanche 02 mars.

 

Car, oui, il y a un carnaval de Paris !

Tous les ans, même ! : L'édition 2012 est là, l'édition 2011, aussi.

 

Et puis pour les fans, il y a toujours JJ_BT l'intégrale powered by Issuu.

Batala marching in the Funk Parade

Women's March 2021

Batala is an international samba reggae music project based in Salvador de Bahiain northeastern Brazil. The name Batala is a combination of the phrase "bateu lá" meaning "hit there" in Portuguese and Obatalá (Oxalá), the Candomblé deity who is the father of the Orixas and of all humanity.

Batala is a group of drummers who often perform at events.
