Samba Roots: An Afro-Brazilian Journey with Viver Brasil

Step into a vibrant evening of movement, music, and ancestral memory with Viver Brasil, Los Angeles’s premier Afro-Brazilian dance theater company.

In this special performance, audiences will journey through the roots and rhythms of samba, exploring its spiritual lineage and celebratory spirit through dances inspired by orixá, forró, and bloco afro traditions.
