Bloco Fogo is an exciting and versatile Samba band that has been making waves since its establishment in Tunbridge Wells in 2000. With the support of Millennium Lottery funding and guidance from Carnival Collective, we have grown both musically and in size, boasting over 80 talented members. Over the years, we have become one of the largest and most versatile Samba bands in Kent and the South East region of the UK.

Led by our experienced Musical Director and a team of skilled mestres, we consistently deliver high-quality performances that captivate audiences. Our repertoire draws inspiration from Brazil's vibrant carnival traditions, including Samba Reggae, Funk, and Samba Batucada, while incorporating elements of African, Cuban, and modern dance grooves. This fusion of styles results in a unique and vibrant sound that sets us apart.

Bloco Fogo is passionate about collaborating with other arts companies and has established strong connections with South East organizations such as Same Sky, Strange Cargo, Cohesion Plus, and Kent Equality Cohesion Council. Together, we have created exciting collaborations, including Samba-Bhangra fusion performances with The Bollywood Brass Band and Four By Four Bhangra Dancers. Available for gigs, parties, and corporate events across Kent, the UK, and Europe, we bring our vibrant Brazilian carnival drumming and colorful costumes to entertain audiences of all ages.
