Welcome!

But proper Samba only comes from Rio, doesn't it? That may be so, but original Berlin Samba only comes from Berlin, attractively complimented by Funk, Reggae and Pop. "Bloco Explosão" is a 3 times prizewinner at the famous "Berlin Karneval der Kulturen", and plays at festivals, concerts and sport events. Book us now for your event!

On our site you will find good music, a band for your event, a group to play along with as well as a trip to Brazil, i.e. everything that has to do with Brazilian joie de vivre and a good atmosphere.
