Batucada Yemanjá at the Ballard Locks
Dates tentative — we haven’t confirmed the exact days and times
Lineup
Batucada Yemanjá has been performing since 1978 at Northwest events such as Bumbershoot, the Northwest Folklife Festival, Brasilfest and on stage with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra. After 39 years of playing together, Batucada Yemanjá has expanded on the Brazilian model by including many other folkloric styles in its repertoire.
Bringing their own party with them, the Ballard Sedentary Sousa Band, Seattle’s own non-marching march band, plays the greatest hits of band music, rousing classics by John Philip Sousa, Henry Fillmore and more. What sets them apart? You can expect appearances by the Ballard Sedentary Sousa Band Drill Team, and the world’s only Sedentary Majorette, who performs thrilling feats of seated baton twirling.
