2nd Miamibloco Saideira Social

A diverse group of people enjoying a nighttime outdoor event or concert, some with eyes closed and arms raised, surrounded by tents and palm trees with colorful lighting.

A powerful seaside percussion journey inspired by Brazilian music traditions, the Blocos of Rio de Janeiro, and Miami's Global musical diversity. Possible through the Bandshell Laboratories + Miamibloco partnership, The Miamibloco Brazilian Social is essentially a seasonal showcase of local and world renowned artists from the African Diaspora, along with the Miamibloco Bateria Saideira.

The Fall Saideira Social took place on Monday 12.12.22 and featured 41 percussionists on the Bandshell stage, grooving and backing Brazilian music royalty: Munir Hossn, Gilmar Gomes, Gabriel Policarpo (cultural exchange artist), Baia, Rose Max & Ramatis Moraes.
We also had the pleasure and fortune to arrange original songs for the Bateria with incredible artists: Magela Herrera, Alejandro Elizondo, Musiana, Afrobeta, Mofongo de Plena and the Miami Sound Choir. Selections by DJ Kumi & DJ Bofre , sound engineering by Dani Muñoz and video captured and edited by Oigovision
