Are you also passionate about Samba and Brazilian music? Go Samba exists to support the Brazilian percussion community with authentic samba drums and immersive experiences direct from Brazil. Owning your own instrument can powerfully change your relationship to the music. Especially when you know it is from artisan instrument makers in Brazil. Check out our blog and YouTube channel to learn more about our immersive experiences. Until now it has been difficult to find real samba drums here in North America. Go Samba is here to change that. Happy Shopping! ~Courtney Danley
