Wicked Aura Batucada hit Times Square, New York City

The Aura minus 2 of their comrades, decided to drop bombs (drumming lingo folks) on Times Square one fine evening but were stopped by cops left, right & centre, so returned 2 days later in the daytime with some "papers" and backing from their friends in high places and proceeded to wreck The Square.

The gods decided to do a number on the Wicked ones by lettin' the rain pour like a mofo after just 2 songs (this being 1 of them) in the New York sun. But our resilient noiseniks needed a good ol' shower anyways, and so went on to play in the summer rain for some very amused AND very wet folks. Americans and tourists alike.

The Wickedboys packed good amounts of benjamins in their hat, sold their album Louder Than Light by the dozens, and went back to bed fitter, happier, more productive.

Enjoy the clip.
