MaSamba Samba School is a community music collective, dedicated to the promotion of Brazilian culture.

The collective plays a mixture of traditional and modern rhythms, including samba, samba-reggae, timbalada, funk, maracatu, ijexá, coco, hip-hop, samba-rock, and many other experimental mixes.

In recent years, we have developed several major pageants, including two award-winning entries for the Dublin St. Patrick’s Festival, and represented Ireland at carnival events in the UK, Germany, the US, Mexico and Brasil.

The group rehearses together on a weekly basis at their base in the Liberties, Dublin 8, and new members are always welcome.
