Music video
"Bum Bum Tam Tam" on YouTube

The song's music video is currently the most viewed video from Brazil on YouTube.

Due to the similarity in sonority between "Bum Bum Tam Tam" and Instituto Butantan, the institute responsible for one of the COVID-19 vaccines to be distributed in Brazil, MC Fioti released a new version of the song in 2021, Vacina Butantan ("Butantan vaccine"). The modified lyrics incentive people to take the vaccine and was recorded inside the facilities of Instituto Butantan with employees dancing.[3] One week after being posted, the video had amassed over six million views on YouTube.[4]

Critical reception

edit

The song received widespread critical acclaim from music critics. Billboard said the song "might just qualify as the biggest international banger the world has ever seen."[5] Clash described the song saying "'Bum Bum Tam Tam' is the carefree phenomenon 2017 needs, the sort of ear-worm pop melody that can bring entire nations together."[6] Vice described the song questioning if "Bum Bum Tam Tam is the best funk song in history?"[7]

Music video

edit
