"Bum Bum Tam Tam" (also known by the title "Joga O Bum Bum Tam Tam"[1]) is a song recorded by Brazilian funk rapper MC Fioti. The music video was released on 8 March 2017. The song samples Johann Sebastian Bach's Partita in A minor for solo flute.[2] The song has peaked at number one in the Netherlands and the top 5 in France.
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]
