Join us for a Unique Celebration of Afro-Brazilian Art and Culture at the Cape Symphony Falmouth Campus!
Experience the vibrancy of Afro-Brazilian traditions through Capoeira and Samba in this exciting, interactive event featuring the talents of Movement Arts Cape Cod and the newly formed Outermost Batería. This special concert offers a blend of Capoeira’s rhythmic martial arts and the infectious joy of Samba music, bringing together two dynamic art forms that celebrate movement, music, and community.

What to Expect:
Capoeira Demonstration and Workshop: Led by André Lima, a Capoeira practitioner with over 20 years of experience under the guidance of Mestre Kinha from Capoeira Besouro Hawaii, this session will introduce you to the graceful acrobatics, dance, and combat elements of Capoeira. Originating in Brazil among African slaves, Capoeira promotes inclusion, mental health, and camaraderie, making it a fantastic opportunity for both kids and adults to engage in a unique cultural experience that develops strength, coordination, and flexibility.
Samba Drumming with Outermost Batería: Cape Cod’s first Samba School, the Outermost Bateria—founded in 2024 by musical director Jim Weber—will bring the lively rhythms of Brazilian Samba to life. Through a participatory workshop and performance, the Batería invites you to immerse yourself in the pulsating beats of Samba, explore traditional Brazilian percussion, and experience the thrill of community music-making.

Why You Should Attend:
This is more than just a concert; it’s an invitation to join a celebration of music, movement, and cultural heritage. Designed to be fully interactive, the performance space allows for audience participation, with room for up to 40 performers and plenty of space for guests to join in the rhythm. Whether you’re learning the basics of Capoeira or joining a Samba drum circle, you’ll be part of an unforgettable journey through Afro-Brazilian art forms that inspire joy, inclusion, and a sense of belonging.
