Tambores e Samba is thrilled to announce our 2024 Fundraiser & Raffle!

Win $1,000 flight credit or giftcard redeemable towards any flight!

Led by Abel Damasceno, Tambores e Samba is a Samba Reggae and Samba Afro percussion ensemble with deep connections to the Brazilian community in San Francisco, Berkeley, and Oakland.

This fundraiser aims to support AfroBrazilian arts and culture connecting the Bay Area to local communities in Salvador Bahia. With the funds collected, we will support local artisans who create batería instruments such as: zurdos, dobras, repiques, and caixas. Through this connection we aim to spread AfroBrazilian culture and joy here in the Bay Area by continuing Abel Damasceno’s teachings and rehearsals with excellent quality instruments in 2025.
