Description

SambaDa celebrates 15 years together at this special performance featuring special guests Yabas Dance Company, Samba Dancers, Capoeira, Maculele and DJ Ellen spinning Samba, Reggae and Forro. Dubbed the West Coast's hottest Brazilian band by promoters, journalists and fans, SambaDa musically unites the Americas. Based in the rich musical traditions of Brazil, SambaDa also references salsa and cumbia, and blends them playfully with funk and reggae beats. Brazilian natives Papiba Godinho and Dandha da Hora bring profound knowledge and respect for Brazilian music, and together with the entire band, they present a unique musical sound with a universal appeal.

SambaDa was formed in 1998 in Santa Cruz, California, by capoeira master Papiba Godinho, saxophonist Anne Stafford, and drummer Gary Kehoe and has gone on to conquer clubs and festivals across the country with its explosive Carnival-like performances. The band is known for its high-energy percussion, danceable grooves and visually dynamic show.
