The event was so amazing! It was a surprise element during my wedding reception and my guests loved it. Everyone got up from their chairs and joined the dancing from young to old. They were punctual, professional and brought alot of positivity and high energy to my wedding. I would hire them again!!

We cannot thank Mo and his team enough for the wonderful performance they provided at my wedding. The children and adults were mesmerized with the dance/show and my family will certainly use their services again. I have people calling me asking for their contact for future events. Chicago Samba was the highlight of my big day and i cannot be more thankful for an exceptional performance. I am so glad i found them :) Thank you Chicago Samba!!!

About
Chicago Samba, Live Brazilian music & dance
Chicago Samba, a Midwest-based music ensemble, offers the authentic sounds of Brazil mixed with the flavor of carnival. They play a unique mix of Brazilian popular song styles, including:
* Samba, the energetic national rhythm of Brazil
* Bossa Nova, a laid-back, seductive sound that merges jazzy melodies with the essence of the samba
beat (popularized by Antonio Carlos Jobim and songs like “The Girl from Ipanema”)
* Brazilian Jazz, under the influence of American Jazz, this the newest style of world music.
* Olodum, a rhythm-heavy, Afro-Brazilian sound tinged with reggae (popularized by Olodum)
* Forro, a lively syncopated sound from the rural northeastern Brazil
* Chorinho, a richly melodic sound driven by string instruments like guitar, flute & cavaquinho.
* Pagode, a funky Rio "party music" sound
* Batucada, an exciting, all-percussive jam session that brings any audience to its feet to dance
along with the group - just like Carnaval in Rio de Janeiro
