Immerse yourself in the vibrant soul of Brazil without leaving Paris, thanks to an exceptional samba roda organized at the Bibliothèque Assia Djebar, as part of the Saison Brésil-France 2025. On Saturday, May 24, 2025, from 6 to 7 p.m., let yourself be carried away by this moment of musical sharing, where the boundary between artists and audience disappears to form a single choir living to the rhythm of the cavaquinho, guitar and Brazilian percussion.
This unique event transforms a simple concert into an immersive collective experience, typical of Rio de Janeiro's popular squares, where samba is a natural part of everyday life. The roda de samba, a living circle where musicians play in direct interaction with the audience, is one of the most convivial and spontaneous forms of Brazilian music. In this warm, relaxed atmosphere, you'll be invited to sing, clap and even dance, lulled by festive, infectious melodies.
To embody this typically Carioca energy, the Bibliothèque Assia Djebar welcomes four renowned musicians, brought together to make the voice of Brazil resonate in the heart of the 19th arrondissement. Filipe Dourado will bring his cavaquinho chords, the small Brazilian guitar emblematic of samba. Alongside him, Caio Márcio Santos will make his guitar strings vibrate, while Léo de Mola and Guima Santos will combine their voices and percussion to weave a warm, lively sound. Together, they form a band that is both rooted in tradition and open to the spontaneity of the moment.
In addition to being a musical event, this roda is a powerful cultural experience, designed for all audiences. Whether you're passionate about world music, curious about a moment of musical conviviality, or simply looking for a free, festive event, this concert will appeal to your desire for a sonic escape. A far cry from the elevated stages and traditional concerts, here everyone finds their place in a lively musical circle, echoing the samba's values of sharing and joy.
Are you looking for an original outing to enjoy with family, friends or on a musical date? This samba roda is for you. In the warm and welcoming setting of the Bibliothèque Assia Djebar, the atmosphere promises to be family-friendly, inclusive and festive, conducive to relaxation and discovery. The one-hour format allows you to enjoy an unrestricted musical interlude, after a stroll in the neighborhood or to round off a cultural afternoon in style.
As summer approaches, this Brazilian moment invites you to sample the festive spirit that drives the Saison Brésil-France 2025, a program designed to celebrate the cultural bridges between the two countries. Through this samba roda, an entire living musical tradition is invited to Paris, carried by artists committed to making bodies and hearts vibrate to the rhythm of Brazil.
