Overview

  • Feel the Rhythm of Bahia! Discover Afro-Brazilian Percussion from the Inside!

    Music and percussion are deeply rooted in the history, identity, and cultural traditions of Bahia. From the rhythms of Afro-Brazilian communities to the vibrant sounds heard throughout Salvador, percussion is an essential part of the region's cultural expression.

    This experience takes place at Associação de Capoeira Mestre Bimba, the historic first Capoeira school in Brasil, founded in 1937. A place that represents the strength, resistance, and preservation of Afro-Brazilian cultural traditions.

    Here, you won't just listen to the music — you'll become part of it! Pick up a drum, feel the rhythm, discover traditional percussion, and experience the joy of making music together under the guidance of local instructors.

    No previous musical experience is needed. Just bring your curiosity, your energy, and a willingness to try something new.

    Don't just hear the rhythms of Bahia. Come and play them!
