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, with even the odd bit of Irish traditional music thrown in for good measure!

In recent years, Masamba has 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 just off Mountjoy Square in Dublin, and new members are always welcome.
