Rehearsals

ЯEPUЬLIC OF SWING

FOUNDED:  Spring 2004

LOCATION:  Manchester City Centre

GENRE:  Rio-style samba & samba funk

WELCOME:  Everyone

All are welcome but ЯEPUьLIC may be more suitable for intermediate to advanced players or those with some experience of playing samba. We can provide instruments for those without any.

The instruments in the bateria are the surdo, caixa (snare), repinique, tamborim, chocalho, agogo bells and cuicas.


We do not play djembes, timbas or congas as these are not traditional Rio carnival instruments.

A typical rehearsal: new players and dancers join our experienced members in laying down a new groove for the summer.
