Mambembé is an Afro-Brazilian percussion ensemble based in New York City, rooted in the traditions of Samba Reggae from Bahia, Brazil.
More than music, Samba Reggae is a cultural movement — a way to express identity, build community, and celebrate African heritage through rhythm and collective energy.
Through workshops, rehearsals, and performances, we create a space where people of all backgrounds can connect, learn, and experience the power of rhythm together.
Movement and expression are integral to the experience, bringing the rhythms to life. In New York, these elements create a dynamic and immersive connection between performers, participants, and audiences.
