What good would a Samba site be without... well... some Samba!
No recording can ever capture the adrenalin-fuelled intensity of a live Samba band in action but we hope the following MP3’s deliver an insight into maSamba’s sound and more importantly, Samba music in general.
The following MP3’s derive from a one day recording session with Al Cowan at Sonic Studios, Dublin.
We are currently working on some new arrangements for a further recording session later in the year, but finding time to get into the studio has proven difficult - we shall of course keep you updated on the progress of the new material on the Front Page of the site.
Enjoy...

Simeon travelled to Liverpool and worked with the legendary creators of Afro Bloc, Ilé Aiyé, in 2000. This powerful groove is a result of the learning from that workshop and features a wonderful jazzy improvisation from long-time maSamba collaborator, Seán McErlaine: Download.
