Get ready to samba! EducArte brings its popular Sarau de Samba experience to Baltimore for this year’s Viva Brasil! Carnival Party at Creative Alliance. Join us for an exuberant, community-centered celebration of Afro-Brazilian samba tradition and culture, where the infectious rhythms of Rio de Janeiro come alive through live music, dance, and joyful participation.
Led by locally renowned Brazilian musicians Pablo Regis and André Coelho, the Sarau de Samba is an invitation to experience the heart of Brazil. The event features a dynamic ensemble of musicians and dancers, showcasing everything from Golden Age samba classics and choro to modern pagode and high-energy carnival beats. We will kick off with a beginner-friendly dance lesson led by Mariana Triginelli, so everyone can join the fun—no partner or experience required.
Sarau de Samba is interactive and family-friendly, welcoming all ages and backgrounds to sing, dance, and even play instruments alongside the band. Whether you’re a samba aficionado or a first-timer, you’ll find a warm, welcoming atmosphere and a true taste of Afro-Brazilian culture.
The Sarau de Samba band includes Pablo Regis, André Coelho, David Sacks, Filipe Brandão, Chris Payne, and Carlinhos Rangel, with special guest singer Cissa Paz and dancer Mariana Triginelli.
Brazilian DJ Marcela Biondo will also play popular Brazilian hits before and after the concert.
