Austin Samba joins forces with Ani’s Day and Night and other performers, artists, and vendors from around Austin to raise funds for the 2025 Kerville flood disaster victims.

Austinites and curious travelers will join the celebration of belonging at Austin City Hall. This event showcases the eclectic mix of cultures that make Austin such a weird and wonderful place to visit and live in. The event will include art activities, dance and music performances from different cultures and music genres, and a showcase of the city's department organizations.

This fabulous event is made in partnership with Almost Real Things and is just one way we are creating community to help prevent a culture of hate from taking root in Austin.

In the Heart of the Community…

Austin Samba and its guest performers “Bênção Capoeira” and “Grupo Ladeira” bring the energy, joy, colors, and rhythms of Brazil to Zilker.  We will share with you the music and dance that grew from the history of love, strength, and perseverance of the community.  We will showcase percussion from different regions of Brazil along with the grace and power of its dance - which you, our community, will become a part of!

This all-weekend celebration of street bands from around the country kicks off of Friday and will showcase music throughout the weekend at several locations around Austin. For a detailed schedule of the weekend's shows, visit HONK! TX's festival website www.honktx.org.

This year we pay tribute to New Orleans (The Big Easy), the most African of American cities, the birthplace of American music and home to Mardi Gras one of the most famous pre-Lenten celebrations in the world. We compare and contrast New Orleans and Rio whose African roots gave rise to samba, the national music of Brazil, and the Brazilian version of Carnaval, also one of the most famous in the world. 

In this show, we view the fabulous music of New Orleans through Brazilian optics layering on Brazilian rhythms and dance to produce an aural and visual fusion that is irresistible. It will be hard to stay seated. This is dance music front to back. 

This year, our theme samba (samba enredo) was written for us by Rio composer Edson "Baby" de Oliveira. It is an original samba about New Orleans and will be featured at Carnaval Brasieiro, as well as Austin Samba's performances at Zilker Hillside Theatre and Stateside Theater at the Paramount. Bateria arrangement by Mestre Ailton da Mangueira.
