Oi Gente!

Tuesday June 16 is Carlinhos's birthday, and to celebrate, we're having a special samba open house/jam session at 8:30PM after the regular pandeiro class.

It'll be both fun AND loud. Please come by with your drums to play some serious batucada with one of the best percussionists in the world.

(Also, it's an informal potluck, so if you're feeling it, please bring food & drink to share.)
