The Band

Now in our 16th year, MaSamba Samba School is Ireland's premier Afro Brasilian music and dance collective. The group was created on the huge wave of enthusiasm following the 1994 Big Bang Festival at the City Arts Centre. Initially the group was set up as a team-building exercise for the staff of the arts centre, but demands for performances and workshops soon saw the group becoming independent and working in partnership with the City Arts Centre on numerous projects until the Centre closed the doors on their Moss Street premises.

Joining/Booking

MaSamba has always had an open-door policy of encouraging those with little or no previous drumming experience to attend our weekly community workshops. We also maintain a semi-professional performance group which is available to play a wide range of events.

maSamba do Mananha

We also have a highly successful youth wing maSamba do Mananha (maSamba of tomorrow), which has played at festivals and events throughout the country, recently travelling to Yorkshire and Belfast, as well as producing a CD of their own work in late 2004.

Hi! Next Tuesday, 08/09/09 NATEMA, the most enjoyable electro tribal live act at 22:00 at GUANABARA, the largest Brazilian late night venue in London. http://gigs.guanabara.co.uk/live-music-7-nights/guanabara-summer-season-natema-live/ NATEMA brings together different extremes of electronic music and combine them with Brazilian folk rhythms. Exotic instruments like the alfaia, berimbau and the pandeiro (Brazilian tambourine), bass and guitar blend harmoniously with all with laptops, moogs and other synths, the result is an extremely dynamic and versatile live act. Formed by Boni (programing / bass), Luis Valente (guitar, vocals) and Pedro Campolina (Percussion) Come down and enjoy something unexpected! FREE ENTRY the whole night. See you there! www.natema.com Photobucket

UNIVERSE

Comparing the solar system to an atom, the earth is an electron.

How do you feel being one among zillions of inhabitants of an electron?

Comparing one atom to the solar system, each electron is a planet.

How do you feel being a universe?

Muito grato! Maravilha de som. A música faz com que as pessoas experimentem um pouquinho do mundo divino. Neste espaço, pude perceber que são habitados por anjos - e você é um deles - não importa sua legião. Penso que a música está acima do bem e do mal - Deus é mais - e espero que você esteja sempre envolvido por ela. Portanto desejo uma ótima existêcia e agradeço por existir na mesma época que você.
Um beijo no coração!!!
