As a series of title cards explains at the start of the video, batuque is a style of music and dance that was created by women in Cape Verde, a former Portuguese colony off the coast of Africa that played a crucial role in the slave trade.
, where the “Batuka” video premiered, Madonna noted that the clip was meant to honor both the legacy of batuque and recreate the pop star’s first meeting with the Orquestra Batukadeiras.“It wasn’t easy to replicate the significance of our first meeting and how it all happened,” she said. “How they invited me in and gave me a leather drum, sat me down and said ‘Join Us.’ They took turns dancing and embracing me. They invited me into their world and made me feel extremely welcome.
All the Madame X videos deserve awards.

Madonna_Kalli QUEEN
Beautiful video, yet weird to start the video with mentioning slavery & taking away elements of their culture and then singing words from Christianity.
Madonna is a stupid washed-up woman and Rolling Stone is unfit even for toilet paper.
Wow. Beautiful!
