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
hasn't stoped creating Samba Teams in the
communities since then.
The group consists of many colourful members from the
local community: Midwives, Teachers, Students,
Travellers, Lawyers, Farmers, Bank
Clerks, Parents, ex-Musicians etc etc.
Today, there are 4 samba 'crews' based on the north
coast of Northern NSW, all of which are open to new
members. Venues are:
Bangalow Pavilion Hall : Tuesday nights 6-8pm
"The Samba-Blisstas" Training Nights ($20)
