Bloco Louco

Bloco Louco is a community Samba band formed in January 2007 offering workshops in percussion to the people of Birmingham and the West Midlands. Our repertoire is mainly tinged with Samba Reggae style and we are currently working on a Rio style Samba Batucada. Our practice leads us through a series of gigs in the Birmingham area (www.blocolouco.com/gigs.htm). A sample of our recent performances can be seen and heard here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ur_g0tdfvE Our workshops are taking place every Tuesday at Ladywood Arts & Leisure Centre from 7.15 pm. All are welcome! Your first session will be free. After you’ll pay £5 per workshop on a ‘pay-as-you-go’ principle. Bring some earplugs with you or buy the one we provide (50p / pair).
