Loud and lively, energetic and dynamic - The Edinburgh Samba School (TESS) is a regular and popular feature of community festivals and special events in Edinburgh and elsewhere in Britain and Europe. We are a colourful percussion and dance group, specialising in authentic rhythms from the flamboyant Carnival culture of Brazil. Founded in 1992, TESS is a community project with charitable status. Our popularity is reflected in the number of high-profile events at which TESS has performed, eg. the Scottish Cup Final, the Edinburgh Festivals' Cavalcade, Edinburgh's Hogmanay, the opening of the Scottish Parliament and headlining at the National Day of Percussion. |

Book us for your street festivals, private parties, community or corporate events, club gigs, whatever the scale - in fact, any event needing a lively party spirit. All funds raised by TESS are used to sustain the group's activities in the community - teaching, rehearsing, maintenance and purchase of instruments - as well as a variety of outreach projects. We are always interested in hearing from people who want to come and drum or dance with us - check out details of our drumming and dancing classes or feel free to drop us a line. We are extremely proud to have Mestre Allysson Velez as our official patron!
