This article focuses on Maracatu New York, a percussion group based in Brooklyn. Drawing on ethnographic research conducted in 2012, I discuss the significance that maracatu, a Brazilian cultural practice, acquired in New York. The group attracts participants of different nationalities, including Brazilians and Americans. However, it is specifically the flows of people between Brazil and the United States and also the symbolic values that emerge from the mixture of musical rhythms and cultural elements from Pernambuco and New Orleans-combining baque virado with "second line" rhythms-that trigger feelings of belonging for both Brazilians and Americans in the group
