Samba Squad
Saturday, June 18th - Cogeco Stage - 2:30pm
Founded by award-winning percussionist Rick Shadrach Lazar, SAMBA SQUAD is an innovative group that is forging new directions by mixing world rhythms with the sound-power and street-feel of the drums of the Afro-Brazilian Samba tradition.
The SQUAD's 16-member ensemble bust out in energy and excitement. Samba Squad embodies the joy of embracing different cultures. The musical roots of Afro-Brazil, Afro-Cuba, West Africa and Urban Funk are combined to produce a dance-party sensation.
Featuring members of all ages and backgrounds, The SQUAD is a microcosm of cosmopolitan Toronto and one of the most exhilarating musical experiences in Canada.
