Baticumbando is the most recent expression of the association born from the artistic encounter between the Brazilian guitarist Roberto Taufic and the Italian singer Simon Papa, which took place in 1993.

Through time this project has involved the collaboration with different musicians, both Brazilian and Italian, all sharing different artistic backgrounds, but the same passion for Brazilian music, its thousands of colours, its great rhythmic variety and its incredible melodic-harmonic and poetic richness.

The great friendship that has always united these musicians completed the picture for an ever fruitful collaboration, and one that is always evolving, presented in numerous live performances and in various records.
