Austin Samba and special guests bring the energy, joy, colors, and rhythms of Brazil to celebrate “25 Years of Austin Samba: Honoring Jacaré’s Legacy” at Zilker Hillside Theater from 6-9 PM on April 18. Founded by Robert Patterson, also known as Tio Jacaré, Austin Samba began with a bold vision to plant the heartbeat of Brazilian samba in Central Texas and build a community rooted in rhythm, culture, and connection. We are thrilled to share with you the music and dance that grew from the history of love, strength, and perseverance at our annual free show for the community. This family friendly event showcases percussion from different regions of Brazil alongside the grace and power of dance, which you will become a part of!
Attendees can:
· Bring a picnic to take advantage of the grassy lawn of the Zilker Hillside Theater
· Enjoy performances by our special guests Grupo Ladeira, MeliSamba, Sambabom, Capoeira Bençao (and others)
· Learn Brazilian dance
· Celebrate Tio Jacaré
