Zo 20 Jan, 17:00 Roda de Samba da Viviani convida Femke Smit

Originated on meetings of musicians in the backyards of their residences, the Roda de Samba is a cultural tradition. Usually gather a large number of people who sing and dance around a table, where the musicians play instruments and sing sambas.
In the beginning  it was a meeting to celebrate the African roots in the House of Tia Ciata, where they cooked culinary traditions and dance.
The Roda created, promoted the exchange of experience, knowledge, synergy and expanded into other yards like the samba schools during the forties and fifty’s.
In mid-1960 and 1970, the musicians returned to the tradition of the backyards.
The Roda de Samba is very popular at the moment in the backyards of the Brazilian scene in Europe and Holland as well.
