Music - Seattle, Washington, United States
Through lively processions, parades, and stage performances, VamoLá brings to life the celebratory spirit of Brazilian carnival! While the emphasis is on samba—"the essence of the Brazilian musical soul"—VamoLá offers a rich array of other Brazilian music and dance styles as well, from the radical, hip-hop rhythms of samba-reggae to the elegant, powerful rhythms of maracatu. This exuberant drum and dance ensemble envelops the audience in driving rhythms, inviting the audience to join in and delighting viewers of all ages. The drummers play the instruments found in a Brazilian batería (percussion band), from the deep heartbeat of the big surdo drums to the sharp riffs of the tamborims, and from the agogôs (bells), chocalhos, and caixas to the strong solos riffs of the lead drum (repinique). You'll also hear the playful cuíca, famous for its distinctive, birdlike calls in samba. Wearing colorful costumes—from glittery Rio-style fantasias to earthy Afro-Brazilian styles—the dancers perform samba and other high-energy choreography, interacting with the drummers and the audience.
