Who are we?
We're a band that meet once a week to perform a variety of musics from
Brazil, Cuba and elsewhere. We have a workshop format which means
that newcomers are very welcome and will be able to pick up the music
quickly.
Occasionally we also arrange and attend workshops led by samba
luminaries such as Sam Alexander (who brought Maracatu to Britain),
Dave Willetts (musical director of the London School of Samba)
and Pat Seldon (from Inner Sense).
We meet every Wednesday from 7.30-9.30pm at the Bath
House, Gwydir St, Cambridge. (off Mill Road, near the railway
bridge)
