Soul Samba Circus are based in Newton, Auckland. The 11 piece band sprouted organically out of Grey Lynn Junk Shop in 2010. Their original ingredients were beer, chocolate and a passion for Brazilian percussion. Soul Samba Circus are a high energy collective who come from a range of musical backgrounds and styles.
For your listening pleasure, this kaleidoscope of sound has been poured into the melting pot to create one hot soul samba marsala.
On stage, this 11 piece band is an unusual array of instruments: sassy accordions, soulful vocals, cranking brass, popping congas, pounding percussion, and rolling bass lines.
It’s an irresistible fusion of Soul and Samba beats, that’ll have you shaking your money maker and stamping your feet.
