Body music is music/dance created by clapping, slapping, snapping, stepping and vocalizing. Body music was most likely the first music/dance
Before people were hollowing logs and slapping rocks to make musical instruments, they were probably stomping, clapping and making sounds to express their musical and dance ideas
Body music has existed for centuries, and many forms of it still exist today. This includes hambone and stepping in the U.S., to saman in Indonesia, palmas in Spain,and Ethiopian armpit music
Brazil's world famous, Barbatuques, is a leading group in body music. They create melodies and rhythms using voice and human body sounds by hand clapping, cracks, beats, hands and feet, all in tune
Barbatuques' repertoire includes their own compositions, adaptations, improvisations and audience interactions
Founded in 1996 by musician Fernando Barba, Barbatuques has performed in France, Spain, the United States, Switzerland, Portugal, Lebanon, Russia, Senegal, Colombia, China and South Africa
In 2008, the group performed at the 1st International Body Music Festival held in San Francisco, organized by body music pioneer Keith Terry, now with SLAMMIN All-Body Band
Barbatuques debuted in New York in front of 3,000 cheering fans at this Lincoln Center performance
