Samba Já is Eugene’s
own bateria - a thirty-member mobile percussion ensemble. They specialize
in playing wild, funky, infectious, and incredibly danceable street music
from all over Brazil and the Americas, from the sounds of Carnaval in Rio
de Janeiro to tongue-in-cheek Heavy Metal. Diverse, playful, and innovative,
Samba Já recently celebrated its second birthday under the artistic
direction of founder and lead drummer Jake Pegg. Samba Já will bring
its irrepressible, ecstatic rhythms to your parade, party, festival, grand
opening, or other large event.
Combining the talents and enthusiasm of people from all over the world and all walks of life, Samba Já has performed at venues such as the Eugene Celebration (2002 "Best in Show" winners, "Northwest of Normal" parade) Eugene First Night, Saturday Market, Springfield Filbert Festival, the WOW Hall, and enthusiastically received elementary school concerts. Come dance along in the parade with Samba Já!
