Bloco Fogo

We are a Samba Reggae Funk drumming band based in Kent, the UK. Today, we have over 80 members and have established ourselves as one of the largest and most versatile samba bands in Kent and the South East. As a community band, we travel far and wide to bring our vibrant performances to all sorts of gigs and events across the UK. From summer fêtes in Surrey to bonfire parades in Sussex, and even to the big stage at the London New Year’s Day Parade, Thames Festival, and the Lord Mayor’s Show. But we don't just stop there. We also travel further afield to perform at events and festivals such as Cleethorpes Carnival, Jersey, Ireland, Germany, and Nijmegen in Holland. Our repertoire encompasses Brazilian, Cuban, and African rhythms, ensuring that we bring a taste of international flavour to each and every performance.
