macumba is a religion, but it do has something related to black magic. it came from Africa and became popular in Brazil.
"bat" is a reference to batman. (no, really.)
the tropicalia is about mixing brasilian culture (e.g. the macumba) with american and european culture (e.g. the batman) and a lot of irony.
hard to explain, but you can see it all in the song.
ps.: it has nothing to do with a bat-like god.
