History
At the presentation of their first CD “Rabasa” in La Tentation in Brussels (1999), the concert began before a rapt audience. As the concert continued and Rabasa moved on to the batuque and then the funana, the public could no longer contain itself-- chairs were pushed aside and the party went on for many hours. As it turned out, this ritual was to be repeated at many venues to come.
Rabasa played several important festivals and stages like:
