Bring the rhythm of Brazil to your wedding with TDot Batu! Our talented drummers are masters at getting the party started with their unstoppable energy. The fusion of samba and reggae will create a one-of-a-kind sound that’s guaranteed to get everyone, from the youngest to the oldest, up and dancing. Your guests will be talking about this unforgettable experience for years to come!
I’ve planned enough events in my lifetime whether it’s corporate or for friends and family to know that you can never skip entertainment to have an amazing turn out. We had Tdot Batu at our wedding and let me tell you, they lit up our dance floor before reception even started. Not to mention their lively energy with their vibrant drum designs and extravagantly costumed samba dancers looked so awesome in our video footages and photos. Best of all not a single guest was seated when they come on. If you need entertainment that will elevate your wedding or any kind of event, I highly recommend them - the best of Toronto!

TDot Batu is a tightly knit Afro–Brazilian samba reggae percussion ensemble or “batucada” inspired by the power and dedicated to the study of the rich rhythmic tradition borne out of the fusion of samba and reggae.
We study under the guidance of Mestre Patricio ‘Pato’ Irie who honed his skills and developed his musical stylings while living in and playing in the birthplace of samba reggae–Salvador, Bahia. In 1997 Pato moved to Chile, where he shared his knowledge of samba reggae for more than 10 years.
As an integral part of the Toronto Tropical music scene, we engage with diverse members of the arts and music community to create spectacular participatory celebrations that reflect the vast color and energy of Brazilian culture.
For our full band shows that include singers and melody, we require a stage, vocal microphones, instrument microphones, speakers, and stage monitors.
