Join us for the 4th Annual Palenke Arts Festival, featuring the Brazilian music ensemble Sambadá, the Palenke Arts Jazz Workshop, Tam Tam Sacré, West African drum and dance, and the Palenke Arts Bilingual Chorus.. We will have food trucks, children's activities, face painting and raffles.
Dubbed the West Coast’s hottest Brazilian band by promoters, journalists and fans, SambaDá musically unites the Americas. Based in the rich musical traditions of Brazil, SambaDá also references salsa and cumbia, and blends them playfully with funk and reggae beats. Brazilian natives Papiba Godinho and Dandha da Hora bring profound knowledge and respect for Brazilian music, and together with the entire band, they present a unique musical sound with a universal appeal.
