Batucada Classes in Barcelona 2026 | Join Ketubara Workshop

Did you miss the January intake? Don’t worry! At Ketubara Batucada Barcelona, we know that true rhythm doesn’t care about calendars—only passion. February is, in fact, one of the best months to start playing: the groups are full of energy, and you’ll have just enough time to prepare for the major street events that arrive with the warm weather.

Why start your percussion classes now?

  • Get ready for summer: If you start now, you’ll be ready by June to feel the vibration at summer festivals and outdoor events.
  • Small groups: Unlike the crowded September sessions, February classes allow for more personalized guidance from Alex Rosa.
  • Mental health: Playing percussion is the perfect antidote to the accumulated stress of the beginning of the year.

Beginner Workshop: No experience, no fear

Our Monday workshop is specifically designed for those who have never picked up a drumstick before. It doesn’t matter if you think you have no rhythm; under the direction of Mestre Alex Rosa (percussionist of the legendary Ilê Aiyê), you’ll discover that the rhythm is already within you.
