Celebrate the traditions of Latin percussion with this display of Samba to Salsa’s syncopated sounds and powerful rhythms. On this trip through the origins, history, and classic rhythms of samba, salsa, and more, the audience engages in collaborative ensemble exercises to explore these community-based traditions. Students connect to the music and culture of the Caribbean and South America and gain a better understanding and appreciation for the depth and variety of the Latin percussion traditions that keep us dancing.

Testimonials
The artists were great. They kept the children engaged. Their performance was fused with audience participation from singing, making percussion sounds and physical movement. The children even had a chance to learn and play the instruments.
