RODA DE SAMBA

Tickets $15 at the door

Roda de Samba de Toronto is one of the most traditional grassroots samba bands in Toronto, bringing classic samba to Canada since 2014. A group of friends who first gathered together to play a few gigs during that year’s soccer World Cup, upon great audience feedback and having lots of fun playing together they then moved on to biweekly presentations that became a tradition and fundamental part of the exciting Bloor Street West cultural mix, bringing a loyal and highly energetic crowd to the area on Saturday afternoons for the next four years, and to many other places after that.
Grassroots samba, or "samba de raiz" as usually called in Brazil, has a little something for everyone: from the ones who would love to be in Rio de Janeiro for Carnaval, to the ones who would love to dance to some mellow tunes together, everybody finds something to enjoy when real samba is played.
Roda de Samba de Toronto brings together friends Carlos Cardozo on cavaquinho and voice, Cristiano de Oliveira on percussion and voice, André Valério on 7-string guitar and Dijerdam "Baiano" Gomes on percussion
