Samba in the Street is a free community engagement program based on Salvador, Bahia’s Bloco Afro parading organizations. During Brazil’s military dictatorship, these new forms of dance and music were created and then taken to the streets as a form of performative protest. The Blocos Afros offered dance and music experiences as an accessible way to learn about Afro-Brazilian ancestral and contemporary history. This ideology birthed our community engagement program, Samba In The Streets.
