Today sees the release of Batida do Corpo’s album Body Percussion

Batida do Corpo is a Body percussion ensemble assembled by Ben Mitchell. Body percussion is rhythmical grooves played using sounds created only by the human body.

The rhythm's can be a track on there own or just part of the instrumentation.

The album features a remix by Norman Cook (Fat Boy Slim) of the track Amazonas. The original was influenced by the indigenous tribes of the rain forest using a two tone sound created by filling two sealed bits of bambu with different amounts of water.

The track A Night In Havana features some of the musicians from Sao Benitez. The track evokes the sound of the Havanan waterfront.
