Batucada Surgiu is a Brazilian tune built around the batucada rhythm, blending MPB and samba influences with a Brazilian pop sensibility. It was written by Marcos Valle and Paulo Sérgio Valle. The first release appeared in 1964 by Luiz Carlos Vinhas, marking the song’s entry into the Brazilian jazz and pop scene. Marcos Valle later recorded a version associated with the album Braziliance! A Música De Marcos Valle, released around 1967, and the track is commonly linked with Valle’s early Brazilian pop work. The Portuguese lyrics celebrate dance, freedom, and Afro-Brazilian identity, making Batucada Surgiu a compact example of 1960s Brazilian music exploration.
