Formed in 1991, this samba team is based in Tokyo. They perform at various events and parades throughout the year, including the Asakusa Samba Carnival. Samba is a music originating from Brazil, and many people may not have had the chance to experience it directly. It is expressed through live percussion rhythms, singing and string instruments, and unique dance steps. It is also a type of music that you can dance and sing along to, so please join in and have fun moving your body together.
