SAMBA IN THE STREETS IS BACK...ONLINE!

VB’s Samba in the Streets program is inspired by the Bahian Bloco Afro Ideologies of social justice, racial, economic and social equity which affirms the ancestral connection to orixa and samba informing this  contemporary movement called bloco afro dance with the thunderous sounds of samba reggae and samba afro.

Celebrate With Us This Wednesday! 
 
With the funding from the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs, Viver Brasil was invited to create program to explore social justice practice by empowering womxn through the Afro-Brazilian drumming and dance.

We enthusiastically invite you to the celebration of a 6-week program that met twice a week with intensive study of bloco afro drumming with VB Music Director, Clarice Cast and bloco afro dance with VB Associate Artistic Director, Vera Passos.

Join twenty incredible womxn who embraced the power of these socially and politically motivated forms that were created in the 1970s in Salvador, Bahia. The dance and drum provided an opportunity to uplift, to celebrate, and to share the intensity of living in the COVID19 pandemic and the remarkable global show of solidarity for Black Lives. 

This beautiful group of womxn found the strength of dance and music to collectively celebrate the body beautiful as well as the power and community that comes with drumming together, even if physically distant. 

We recognize the groundbreaking work that Dida Womens Percussion Ensemble created to empower young girls and womxn to play drums, which inspired this program.

We invite you all to join the final performance on Wednesday, June 17, 2020 at 12pm on Zoom.
