Rhythms of the City

London's premier bateria playing Afro-Brazilian styles through to soca and salsa.

Rhythms of the City can be 5 to 75 people. Drummers, singers, dancers, horns and guitars combine in a unique spectacle.

We play at carnivals, festivals and clubs across the UK and in Europe and have shared the stage with Jamie Cullum, Osvaldo Chacón and Son Veneno. ROTC has recorded for the BBC and Channel 4 as well as creating a library CD of pure rhythm for BMG. A new CD has just been released under the F-IRE label.

We are currently touring with Friendly Fires and have a monthly residency at Guanabara, London.
