Beginners' Nights
No beginners' night in June
Next beginner's night July 27, 2008The last Sunday of every month is especially for beginners. We welcome people of all abilities - you don't have to be a musician - and we have enough instruments for everyone. We only charge a minimal amount to cover the cost of the room. Occasionally we do have gigs or other things on a Sunday (see top of page for announcements), so call Mike on (613) 599 2747 to check before turning up.

Formed in June 2000, Samba Ottawa is a community percussion group of about 20 people, none of us professional musicians. We play, sing and dance samba, maracatu, samba-reggae, and other Brazilian and Afro-Latin rhythms. Performance is a very important part of what we do. We have played around 200 concerts and parades, with numerous TV appearances and workshops, and have probably been seen by more than 1,000,000 people!
