Join the Bloco. Support the Project.
TRIBO's community lives in two places: a weekly Saturday samba-reggae session in London, and the social and cultural project in Morro de São Paulo, Bahia, where it all began.

Where TRIBO Started
TRIBO began as a project for the children of Morro de São Paulo on the island of Tinharé — a place to belong, learn an instrument and build confidence through Afro-Brazilian music.
Music and education remain the project's tools for social development: discipline, cultural identity, teamwork and opportunity for young people with limited access to formal music tuition.
Cultural exchange runs in both directions — the rhythms taught in London come from Bahia, and the work in London supports the ambition to develop a permanent cultural space in Brazil.
