Flaming Bongos! It’s the Samba-Blisstas!
Thundering through the streets in their wild whacky
costumes and riotous red rhythms, this silly
syncopated street troupe will leave you sweaty and
screaming for more!

The Samba-Blisstas are a 20-45 piece
extravaganza of art on the move...

CARNAVAL DRUMMING is inspired and modelled on
the Brazilian form of samba street Percussion. It
originated in Perth, which now has the biggest samba
movement in Australia , thanks to Paul Barrett , Richy
Glasgow and Peter Kealan's, great work over a 20 year
period ! Paul Barrett ( Musical Director and Founder )
moved to the East Coast in 2003 and hasnt stoped
creating Samba Teams in the community's since then..
The group consists of many colourful members from
the local community, M
idwife's/Teachers/
Students/travellers/lawyers/Farmers/Bank
Clerks/Mum's/Dad's ex Musicians who now have
another outlet to show off and etc etc (
