Based in Paris, with over 50 percussionists, they have brought the heartbeat of Bahia to the streets of Paris for over a decade. Fusing samba reggae, maracatu, funk and the drum throwing acrobatics of the famous Pelourinho drummers (Olodum, Ile Aiye).  This will be their 4th visit to Dublin and a rare chance to see The Sugar Club turned into a proper carnival-esque session! Also on the bill are Brazilian five piece Forró da Ilha who have passion for diffusing authentic and genuine Brazilian Music.
