MaSamba Samba School was born on the wave of enthusiam following the success of the 1994 ‘Big Bang Festival’ at the City Arts Centre in Dublin.
Initially rehearsing on the quays of the river Liffey‚ the band were often in direct competition with the 7 O’clock mass being held in the Quay Church – hence the name‚ which also means ‘more Samba’ – something the Priest didn’t seem to agree with !
MaSamba have around twenty-five active members from a variety of cultural and artistic backgrounds, with many that are experienced performers and musicians. We rehearse together on a weekly basis in our studio in the Liberties area (directions to the rehearsal space can be located on the contact page), where new members are always welcome.
