Created by award-winning percussionist Rick Shadrach Lazar, SAMBA SQUAD is an innovative batteria (drum corps) born out of the Brazilian tradition of Batucada and Escola de Samba. This vibrant 20-plus member tear-down-da-house percussion posse takes you on a dance-till-you-drop tour of global grooves.

This program will be starting in September 2008 and will run throughout the year until the end of June.
