Expressing our art through samba school bateria originating in Rio De Janeiro with  young Mexicans, incorporating our roots and Mexican culture, taking the concept of Day of the  Dead traditions as a way of showing our culture, carrying with great respect this tradition of our ancestors that makes us completely unique, represents and identifies us worldwide. Musically, Groove e Rimshot is a project directed and focused on the reorganization of the batucada concept in our country, taking the bases of a samba school drummer that is currently represented in the largest carnival in the world, in RdJ e SP. Our objective is to influence these Mexico based musical groups (batucadas) in our country with the good technique and rhythmic knowledge that have evolved over the years in Brazil. The primary task of the project is to make known all these musical transformations that continue to emerge so that in turn that they can develop rhythmically and musically to avoid that musical stagnation that has persisted in our country over the years.

Guilherme Oliveira and Gustavo Oliveira are local to Salgueiro having been raised on the same street as the quadra, Rua Silva Teles, the brothers have always had strong roots with the school. The love for percussion arose through contact with the instruments at the escola mirim Aprendizes do Salgueiro. Since then, both have collected experiences in the musical world. Their curriculum is vast, the mestres have played with great artists, such as Ludmilla and Xamã. Their talent and love for the Samba School eventually led them to the role and responsibility of commanding Bateria Furiosa do Salgueiro. As mestres, they seek to immortalize a legacy. The two toured with the “Furiosa pelo mundo” project, where they took Salgueiro’s musical culture to other countries, passing through Europe and South America. They most recently visited us this past August at California Brazil camp.
