Welcome to Ritmistas MTL,
Bateria de samba,
100% Rio samba!
RITMISTAS MTL is a Brazilian percussion group (batucada) based in Montreal (Quebec).
The band specializes in samba de enredo. We play excerpts from the repertoires of the Rio de Janeira and São Paulo samba schools that bring the carnival to life.
Ritmistas MTL is made up of around fifteen musicians of all ages and backgrounds. The group is led by Kelig, who has been playing samba percussion since 2004 (Sambinho Especial, Sambatuc , Zabumba , le Bloco de Paris, le Bloco de Montréal, Bloco Mamutão…).
