the edinburgh samba school
Edinburgh
ABOUT US Loud and lively, energetic and dynamic - The Edinburgh Samba School
(TESS) is a regular and popular feature of community festivals and special
events in Edinburgh and elsewhere in Britain and Europe. From our humble
beginnings in 1992 we have grown to become a loud and lively performance group
specialising in authentic rhythms from the flamboyant Carnival culture of
Brazil. Samba is the heartbeat of celebration, street parties, dance, and fun -
our aim is to promote Brazilian carnival culture throughout the UK and Europe.
All funds raised by TESS are used to sustain the group’s activities in the
community - teaching, rehearsing, purchase and maintenance of instruments - as
well as a variety of outreach projects.
