we train and teach year-round. not for the spotlight, but for the streets, for the joy, for Miami to join the Bloco energy. 🥁
Crediting our teachers isn’t a formality. it’s how we honor our place in a lineage of samba that’s still evolving, and still being written, from the mestres, the instrument makers, and the producers.
Samba is a movement, not a moment
we put in the work all year through classes, workshops, and community events from the ground up, because that’s how samba is really lived. what we get back is a community built on culture, Miami pride and belonging.
we mix pro touring musicians from Miami, with folks who swore they had no rhythm prior to learning to play in Miamibloco’s Bateria Academy, then watch them share stages with artists like Munir Hossn, Alfredo Rodriguez, Carlos Malta, Magela Herrera, Electric KIF, The Lab, Anemoia, Afrobeta, The mestres of Bateria Furiosa (Salgueiro samba school) and our family stars: Rose Max & Ramatis.
that’s not a perk, that’s a life memory unlocked 🔓 by being part of 👁️ Bateria Saideira🇧🇷🥁 [Miamibloco]]
Samba percussion children’s programs teach belonging through Samba to five-year-olds +, and Bateria members range from 11 to their 70s…
Learning starts young, but it doesn’t stop at graduation.
Samba is a school of life, through rhythm.
they say that a party is also a form of prayer, we take the word party seriously. a party is a place to meet and CONNECT with your neighbors as people, no titles, no status, the purpose is to share joy as humans, and form IRL bonds that make your life instantly interesting, and miami more resilient.
The love for samba has a way to bring people together, and we have countless flex 💪🏼 stories of all kinds of love in Miamibloco, starting with our founders 🧡
