Samba Nova

Samba Nova The rhythm of the saints! Samba Nova is a community percussion group. Open to all! Come play! Contact us http://www.sambanova.org/ Hope to see you!

How to join in: Samba Nova is a community band, based in the Brazilian batucada / samba enredo style (think Carnival in Rio!)

We practice every Tuesday at Saint Matthews church gym, from 6:30- 7:30pm

Come listen or join in! Instruments are provided and the first session is free. It's just $5 a week after that - one heck of a great deal. Once you learn some pieces and have developed a level of sk

ill you'll be invited to perform at one of our many gigs or events. There's no feeling on earth quite the same as playing samba in a summertime parade grooving up the middle of Spring Garden Road or Barrington Street, to the thunder of the drums!

We are pretty excited to show off our new Samba branding for the year! We feel it conveys a good powerful message about rhythm and music.
