Kilombo

The project "Les Batucadas du Bout du Monde" (Batucadas from the End of the World), launched during the 20th edition of the festival, marked the highly anticipated return of Kilombo, Gaspé's Brazilian batucada. Founded in 2004 in the wake of the very first edition of FMBM, inspired by the performance of a guest batucada, Kilombo thrilled the community for more than 15 years before being put on hold due to the pandemic.

Today, the adventure continues: Kilombo is back in action and has become the festival's main batucada. Since its revival last year, the group has enjoyed a new lease on life, driven by the enthusiasm and commitment of its members and the entire community. Its return embodies not only an artistic rebirth, but also a true celebration of Gaspé's festive and unifying spirit.

You can catch Kilombo every day in the late afternoon on rue de la Reine, the perfect opportunity to let yourself be carried away by the percussive rhythms and contagious energy of this local band.
