Excellent experience learning about the musical culture of Brazillian culture. The guide translated what the instructor was demonstrating. Played different drums and jammed with them.

Full description

Percussion in Bahia is part of people's daily lives, and it is present on several occasions, either in a Samba de Roda, or a Candomblé ceremony. It transmits joy and vibrancy, provides rhythm to the melodies, intensifies musical arrangements, and it is also good for the health as it improves the spirits. Bahia is known for its cultural and artistic production, a foundation for several artistic traditions in Brazil.

On this tour, you'll visit an area of vibrant cultural and musical production, aiming to experience the creativity that fosters the process of producing sounds and rhythms inspired by the African continent. The itinerary will help you get acquainted with the sounds of Bahia, through a workshop and a class taught by talented percussionists. You'll learn about the versatility of Brazilian musical production, ranging from the samba reggae, a rhythm that fascinated Michael Jackson, to jazz.

I really enjoyed this experience and the people were lovely. I will cherish the memory of the amazing sounds we made together - it's a great thing to experience in Salvador. I've taken a star off however as was 100% overpriced - it was only 1 hour 45 m in total and we didn't try many instruments + the beats stayed very simple. If money isn't an issue though I would definitely recommend.
