Start the year with a bang with Samboeire

Everybody over 18 years is welcome to join the band for a hands on experience of infectious carnival rhythms. Absolutely no musical experience is necessary.

Participants will enjoy a 2hours introduction to brazilian rhythms generally know as Samba, followed by Tea/Coffee with the band members for an relaxed Q&A session.

This Open day is a great way to discover drumming and Samboeire with an opportunity to join the band for their future ventures.

The community band meets every week to play and work on groove from various influences from Africa, Cuba, Braziland even Ireland!

Each session is a fun, entertaining and active way to socialise and get to learn an instrument even two.

Drumming is a great remedy to reduce tension, anxiety and stress. It's also a great help to better understand rhythm and timing. You can't help feeling the beat with samba!

Its a very simple and accessible way to music making so give it a go and join the band!

Samboeire is also involved in bigger projects nationwide from the local St Patrick's Day Parade in Sligo to the Land of the Giants in Belfast and the Samba festival in Drogheda in June and even a European gathering of drummers inGermanyin July!
