Batuk

Bio

Batuk is a creative collective founded by South African electronic music producers Aero Manyelo and Spoek Mathambo alongside prolific artist and lead vocalist Carla Fonseca. The eclectic ensemble is on a quest to connect the African diaspora by exchanging and sharing African rhythm culture and language while fusing it with electrifying house beats. With influences from zouk, afro/tribal house, soul, techno and traditional African music, the trio represents the spirit of proudly African youth with a global state of mind.

To date the project has completed multi-disciplinary collaborations in South Africa, Mozambique and Uganda, which have resulted in a sound that is set to capture the imagination of listeners around the globe. 'Musica da Terra', the group’s debut album, is a genre-bending release that features the likes of Grupo Zore and Grupo Makarita (Mozambique), Giovanni Kiyingi, Annet Nandujja, and Nilotica (Uganda).
