Welcome

The sizzling samba rhythms of Brazilian-inspired street-music are alive and well - in Leicester! Sambando is Leicester's community samba band and for over 25 years we've been sharing this potent, high-energy, percussion-driven music far and wide. Our samba-inspired street percussion brings Latin energy and vibrancy to club-nights, processions, festivals and celebrations. And while we're based in Leicestershire we perform around the UK. Check-out the short video below to see us in action and then use this site to enquire about booking us, free taster sessions, joining us, or even arranging a percussion workshop. Please also check-out and follow our social channels which are at the top of the page.
