Samba Squad
Latino Band

SAMBA SQUAD rose from a community based drumming group into one of the most dynamic and sought after acts on the Canadian world and Latin music scenes.

Samba Squad was awarded the UMAC (Urban Music Assoc. of Canada) Award for Best World Recording of 2001.

The thirty-plus member drum group performs a variety of samba-based West African, Caribbean and Afro-Cuban styles of Carnival rhythms and has become one of the most exhilarating live music experiences in Toronto.

SAMBA SQUAD has perfomed on Mike Bullard's Open-Mike on CTV,
appeared at countless summer festivals, played at the Air Canada Centre for the Toronto Raptors and have released their first self-titled indie album.
