Paraíso School
of Samba is the only
organisation in the UK whose artistic direction is by artists who
grew up in the Rio de Janeiro samba community and which closely
follows the authentic Brazilian School of Samba structure and objectives,
including all its main cultural elements.
Like Brazilian Samba
Schools, we play only pure Samba rather than the derivatives
usually played in the UK.
We
focus on:
- percussion
- music
- dance
- carnival & costume design
- costume & float construction
We carry out the following activities:
- Dance and Bateria (Percussion) workshops
- Education projects
- Performances
- Paraíso members’ events
- Charity events
- Carnivals & Community events
The continuing involvement of our principal artists with major Rio
de Janeiro samba schools ensures that the samba culture we bring
to the UK is not only uniquely authentic, but is informed by the
latest developments there. It is this authenticity which marks us
out in the UK. |
