Madonna
Batuka
For his second successive video with Madonna, Emmanuel captures an extraordinary musical gathering with a focus on the powerful faces of the all-female Orquestra Batukadeiras, guardians the Capa Verdean musical and dance tradition of batuque.
“It’s also possibly the most documentary-like of any Madonna video ever – and she’s made over 75 of them.” – Promonews
“Batuka – a defiant, joyful cry for rebellion with a rousing call-and-response structure — is Madonna’s collaboration with the all-women Orquestra Batukadeiras, and they join her in the striking video, directed by Emmanuel Adjei and filmed off the coast of Lisbon” – Refinery29
