What is The Samba Experience?

The Samba Experience is a carnival style Brazilian drumming workshop that is innovative, unique and most of all fun! Can you imagine your group performing a tight Samba for the rest of the company? This is absolutely attainable in this energetic, fast paced and entirely “hands-on” workshop using Brazilian rhythms and instruments. No prior musical knowledge is needed, just energy and enthusiasm.

The session normally lasts 90 minutes, and at the end, the group will be energised and ready to perform a samba batucada with an intro, breaks and a powerful ending, either as a band to an audience or as an asset to your company.

All drum workshops should build motivation and encourage teams as well as being enjoyable.The Samba Experience difference is that unlike other drum workshops using African rhythms and instruments it offers an opportunity to play four different rhythms of four sets of instruments. We don't rely on call and response or the "go with the flow" mentality. Our workshops incorporate simple and achievable polyrhythms - played together they produce a powerful groove. Guaranteed to be the highlight of any program.
