A documentary about Batuque; a dance and music art form of Cape Verde, performed mostly by women, both singers and dancers. The singers repeat very strong lyrics, sitting in a circle and beating the rhythm with their hands on a piece of cloth between their legs, while one woman performs a sensual dance with her hips in the middle of the circle. 2005, 52 minutes, in Portuguese with English subtitles. After the screening, we’ll talk with the director, Julio Silvão Tavares – all the way from Cape Verde – via Skype video!
