The Boulder Samba School is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization that promotes the rich heritage of Brazilian music, dance, and culture in Boulder, Colorado. Founded in 2009, it was the first of its kind in the area, and has since been the inspiration for many organizations in our state. The school offers Brazilian music classes, workshops, and performances.
Bateria Alegria is the primary performing ensemble of the Boulder Samba School. The 20-30 member ensemble plays percussion-based styles of music from the samba schools and blocos of Rio de Janeiro and Salvador, Brazil.
