We are a Letchworth based samba percussion group bringing Brazil’s dynamic musical rhythms to live performances, community events, workshops, dance and audience participation. If you are interested in finding out just what drumming and dancing with a Brazilian samba band is all about, or would like to develop your rhythmic skills and musicality, and meet new and like-minded people then email for more information or visit a practice session on a Tuesday evening from 7-9.15pm - please email us to find out our current practice venue. Our dance tutor and choreographer is leading proponent of Brazilian dance, Marcia Magliari. We are an all age, all ability, committee-run community group, offering further opportunities for members to volunteer their skills and take on different roles of responsibility within the group.
