Samba New York! is a world-renowned samba performance company dedicated to entertaining, educating, and uplifting people of all backgrounds with the exhilarating music and dance of Brazil.
Rooted in such styles as Carnaval samba, pagode, bossa nova, and capoeira, Samba New York! uses its unique cosmopolitan sensibility to bring the samba and other traditional Brazilian art forms into new and unexpected places.
Samba New York! has been called upon to represent Brazil for some of the world’s most prestigious companies and events — including ESPN’s 2014 Upfront at Broadway’s Minskoff Theater; Google’s 2017 YouTube Brandcast event alongside superstar Katy Perry; Peter Gabriel’s WITNESS Gala; Central Park SummerStage; and the 2017 New York Salsa Festival at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center for over 25,000 fans. The company has been featured on such mass media as the Today Show, Good Day New York, CBS Early Show, the Dr. Oz Show, and TV Globo’s Jornal Nacional, Brazil’s most widely viewed nightly news program. Samba New York’s numerous other clients include Carnegie Hall; PepsiCo.; NIKE; Starbucks; SC Johnson; Macy’s; MAC; Bloomberg; Kraft Foods; People en Español; and the Secretaries of Tourism for the Brazilian States of Rio de Janeiro, Bahia, and Amazonas, among many others.
Staying true to its motto — “Live The Rhythm” — Samba New York! goes beyond ordinary performance and instruction by inviting people to make samba culture a transformational and fully integrated part of their lives, whether for one moment or a lifetime.
