You don’t need any prior musical experience Learn the rich traditions of Brazil through energizing Afro-Brazilian rhythms Engage with instructors who are passionate about sharing their heritage Access to Mestre Bimba's First Ever School, a powerful Quilombo of resistance
Join us at Mestre Bimba’s first school, a true Quilombo of resistance and resilience, rooted in Salvador’s powerful history. In the late 19th century, practices like Capoeira, Samba, and drumming were criminalized and persecuted. Today, they stand as proud symbols of Brazil’s identity and cultural strength. No prior experience is needed—just an openness to feel the rhythm and connect. In this immersive experience, professional instructors share not only movements and beats, but the history, meaning, and spirit behind them. Through music, body expression, and tradition, you’ll engage with living heritage. By joining us, you actively support the preservation of Afro-Brazilian traditions that continue to shape our present. Feel the rhythm, embrace the culture of Salvador, and celebrate a legacy of strength, creativity, and community.
