"Roda de Samba" with the Pagodinhos from Aachen

Community, lively music, Brazilian singing: a "Roda de Samba" is a traditional Brazilian gathering where musicians sit together and celebrate life. There is singing, clapping and dancing. Guitar, singing and Brazilian percussion with surdo, rebolo, pandeiro, cuica, reco-reco, tamborim, repique de mao and, above all, a dancing and singing audience transform a place into a community of joie de vivre. The "Roda de Samba" was recognized by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage in 2005 and is a part of everyday life in Brazil.
