Samba in Motion: Brazil’s Living Tradition at BIMHUIS
On 12 July, Roda de Samba returns to BIMHUIS with an evening built around participation, improvisation and shared energy. Hosted by guitarist Nelson Latif, the event brings the atmosphere of a Brazilian roda to Amsterdam: musicians seated close to one another, voices joining in, rhythm moving through the room, and the audience becoming part of the performance.
This edition features the Brazilian Samba Machine, with Lilian Vieira and Rosana Brown on vocals, alongside Renata Jambeiro, Marcelo Café, Nelson Latif, Marijn van der Linden, Jura Gomes, Alaor Soares, Sandro Alves, Rafael Lima, Lucas Santana and Daniel Rodrigues, in a rich line-up of voices, 7-string guitar, cavaquinho, percussion, bass, saxophone, flute and trombone. The evening continues in the foyer with samba carrying the rhythm beyond the stage.
From mandolin and cavaquinho to percussion and collective singing, the programme reflects samba as a living practice: a form of music, encounter and memory that continues to reinvent itself wherever Brazilian artists and audiences meet.
