Brilliant experience! - This was a brilliant experience! Our guide Nilsen was phenomenally knowledgeable about Afro-Brazilian history, and the class itself was superb fun, and completely absorbing. We worked our way through various rhythms including Samba Rio, Samba Bahia and Samba Reggae on 2 different types of drum with teacher Macambira. The 3 hour duration seems to include collection & drop off - the class itself was 90 (marvellous) minutes and took place in Pelhourino. Very highly recommended!

Drums in Salvador - Beautiful place, very welcoming people, great percussion lessons They made some videos that I would like to find

Amazing class for all ages! - Amazing class. High energy and cheerful professors. My son wants a second one!!!! Professors are very knowledgeable and professional. Shared a lot about the history and background of the music learned.

Drum with your heart in it! - Such an amazing and meditative experience! I’d highly recommend this one to enjoy your time in salvador!

the best experience in Salvador - it was maybe the best experience visiting Salvador Bahia. Great teacher, nice atmosphere. Just wonderful. It is really fully recommended. And our guide Wagner just took part of it and before and after showed us the best places to visit close to Pelourinho (bars, restaurants, shows). He was very helpful.

Salvador intro + great conversation + fresh moqueca - best way to start your visit! - Josuel was responsive and accommodating of my shrimp allergy (shrimp is in many foods in Bahia, beware!) right from the beginning. He's super friendly and easy to talk to and so inviting with his way of opening Bahian culture and history. He took us to the Feira de São Joaquim, which would have been completely overwhelming but was instead fascinating under his gentle guidance. He's not talking all the time but allowing us to explore and pointing out some curiosities. Back at his house, we made moqueca together and ate it and drank some wine while talking about education in Brazil (he's also a public school teacher). His Portuguese is quite understandable, and he also speaks English. He's been a guide for 20+ years here and it is apparent. He really knows this place and our experience was richer for his knowledge. Great way to spend a few hours in a new city!!!
