En 1462, les premiers esclaves arrivèrent au Cap-Vert, ramenés d’Afrique par les colons portugais. Ils apportaient avec eux les rythmes et les semences de ce qui est devenu le batuque : une musique chantée et une danse sensuelle rythmées par des percussionnistes disposés en cercle. Réprimé et interdit pendant l’époque coloniale, le batuque a résisté dans la clandestinité et est aujourd’hui adopté comme un symbole de l’identité culturelle capverdienne. Le groupe Raiz de Tambarina est l’un des plus anciens groupes de l’île de Santiago. De répétition en célébration, à travers leur vie quotidienne, les membres du groupe – un chauffeur de camion, une femme de ménage, des marchandes de poisson – nous font partager leur passion du batuque, et découvrir le Cap-Vert d’hier et d’aujourd’hui.
