Welcome
The sizzling samba rhythms of Brazilian-inspired street music are alive and kicking — right here in Leicester! Sambando is Leicester’s community samba band, and for over 25 years we’ve been spreading this high-energy, percussion-powered music wherever the rhythm takes us. Our samba-inspired street percussion brings bold Latin vibes and infectious energy to festivals, processions, club nights, and celebrations of all kinds. While we’re proudly based in Leicestershire, we perform across the UK, turning streets and stages into instant carnivals. Watch the short video below to see (and hear) Sambando in action. Then explore the rest of the site to book the band, sign up for a free taster session, or join us if you’re an experienced player. And don’t forget to follow us on social media — links are at the top of the page.
