Rhythms

Rhythms are the thundering heart of the movement. We play simple percussion music inspired by Brazilian samba. Bands can help rebels claim and hold space for protest, attract attention and create a positive and fun atmosphere. Our group can be large or small, bands have ranged from over a hundred to just a few individuals so we are versatile and agile in our support.

Things to remember: integration of Samba at marches and actions can look effortless, but how noise will be used on protest needs be considered. Any action which intends to use Samba should be discussed beforehand. Communication is vital, so a link role is essential during an action.

Typically used in marches, longer and larger actions or where rebels energy needs to be maintained.
