Founded by Robert Patterson, also known as Tio Jacaré, Austin Samba began with a bold vision to plant the heartbeat of Brazilian samba in Central Texas and build a community rooted in rhythm, culture, and connection.

In this show, Austin Samba will be celebrating its 25 year anniversary and honoring the legacy Tio Jacaré created years ago. Our show will include guest performances from Grupo Ladeira, MeliSamba, Sambabom Houston, Bênção Capoeira, and Inside Out Steel Band.
