Very good plan, Master Macambira was very generous, close and with great wisdom. I recommend it for both starters and beginners. I took a private lesson without pickup, directly at your local pelourinho. It was 2h and he gave me more time.
10 out of 10, highly recommend! This class was great! The guide and the teacher were very friendly, kind, and knowledgeable. I was the only one in the class which could have been very awkward but they made me feel like I was just part of the gang vibing with the beats. I feel this is a very uniquely Salvador activity and recommend it to anyone who is interested in getting a hands-on Salvador experience!
Unforgettable Pelourinho tour! Excellent percussion driver, guide and master, unique and vibrant experience!
The best, most fun and nicest guide & teacher!! 100% recommend for all levels of experience. You gain understanding for Bahian percussion traditions.
Thank you so much for your amazing feedback! We're thrilled you had fun and connected with the rhythms of Bahia. It’s a joy to share this tradition — come back anytime for more beats!
A must for amateur or more advanced percussionists visiting Salvador. I learned basic rhythms of the Bahia tradition ( Ijexa, samba de roda, t Rhythms of candomble, samba reggae) . The master was patient, attentive and very competent. The master speaks Portuguese but Alex, the guide is a good translator. Unforgettable and friendly experience
Merci beaucoup pour ce retour enthousiaste ! Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié cette immersion dans les rythmes de Bahia. Le maître et Alex font vraiment une excellente équipe. Ce sera un plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau pour d'autres découvertes musicales !
Maestro Macambira gave a phenomenal class. He shared about both the history and spirituality related to percussion playing and we jammed to many different rhythms, along with my guide Alex, who is also very talented. I also took this class on my birthday and so happy I got to celebrate in this special way.
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful experience — and happy belated birthday! We're thrilled that Maestro Macambira and Alex made your day so special with rhythm, history, and great energy. What a memorable way to celebrate in Bahia!
This was a brilliant experience! Our guide Nilsen was phenomenally knowledgeable about Afro-Brazilian history, and the class itself was superb fun, and completely absorbing. We worked our way through various rhythms including Samba Rio, Samba Bahia and Samba Reggae on 2 different types of drum with teacher Macambira. The 3 hour duration seems to include collection & drop off - the class itself was 90 (marvellous) minutes and took place in Pelhourino. Very highly recommended!
Beautiful place, very welcoming people, great percussion lessons They made some videos that I would like to find
Amazing class. High energy and cheerful professors. My son wants a second one!!!! Professors are very knowledgeable and professional. Shared a lot about the history and background of the music learned.
Such an amazing and meditative experience! I’d highly recommend this one to enjoy your time in salvador!
