Sambangra

Sambangra's unique new fusion of Asian, Brazilian and African styles uses samba percussion plus djembes, dohls, talking drum, dohlak etc. in a range of formats from street band to stage band with bass, keyboards, strings, reeds, vocals and guests. We released a CD single,'Charaag' in January 2001, and our first full length CD, called 'SAMBANGRA' in December 2003. We offer training, workshops, collaborations and performances which can be tailored to a wide spectrum of individual requirements. Sambangra were formed around a core of professional musicians in 1997 for the BBC 'Music Live' Festival. Sambangra are always interested in exploring new collaborations and offer workshops of the highest standard in Brazilian, Cuban & African percussion, adaptable to suit a range of participants from young beginners to advanced students and professional musicians.
