INTERESTED IN JOINING?

Apart from being a highly sought-after musical ensemble, Sambata provides an excellent venue for learning Afro-Cuban and Afro-Brazilian music. Sambata fosters the development of new talents as much as it welcomes more advanced musicians to broaden their skills. Samba truly is the music for and by the people.

All new members of Sambata take an introductory samba class before taking part in the regular rehearsals. In this way, instead of too overwhelming, learning the new musical arrangements is easy and enjoyable. For this very purpose, our musical leader periodically hosts introductory samba classes, which are published on this webpage.

Currently, we are actively seeking new members who like to get this necessary training. Either start a new musical direction, or advance and broaden your musical skills, by signing up for a series of classes, taught by musical director Paul Bray and invited guest teachers.

Some quotes from Sambata members:

"Working with Sambata has invigorated my life & inspired me as a musician"

"Funky groovey destroy quirky jet engine barrage articulating deafening traditions of street theatre"

"Sunny even in the worst weather"
