The countdown is on for Encontro Street Band Festival 2019 - here's all the info you need to be part of the madness
The Youth Band are recruiting young people aged 11-25
On a Saturday near carnaval we like to get all sambistas in one room to play at being in Rio...
The Encontro Street Band Festival is back for a third year!
I think this just about sums it up
The band is warming up for the biggest samba event outside of Brazil - the Coburg Samba Festival in Germany.
SambaYaBamba is Glasgow's fully-featured samba band and school providing exciting thunderous percussion and funked up brass arrangements from traditional Brazilian samba through to electrifying drum'n'bass in the tradition of the famous Rio carnaval.
If you've been inspired by the infectious Brazilian beat you'll be pleased to know that we run weekly workshops for beginners.
"I've been listening to Sambayabamba and I think it's great. Having lived in Brazil, I always found the thing missing from non-Brazilian percussion groups was swing. But you guys have got it, no question...."
