We can not wait for SambaYaBamba to perform at this year's Bristol Encontro

Scotland's premier Samba institution of nearly 30 years! SambaYaBamba are a musical tour-de-force hailing from the sundrenched streets of tropical Glasgow. A 30-odd-piece drumming bateria and brass section rooted in the musical traditions of the Brazilian carnaval yet at the same time, very much tailored to a the UK crowd.
