Monobloco are a Brazilian Band/Bloco. They have become very popular as they do not only play Samba, but other rhythms like Samba-Charme, Ciranda, Coco & Samba funk. They perform in the Rio Carnival and they also performed for in England at the Rhythm of the Worlds Music Festival 2007 in Hitchin with Toque Tambor.
Their music is beautiful, feeling the drums and bass circulating in your body giving you extreme energy and adrenalin rush. They most definitely made the crowd rock at the ROTW Festival 2007.

Toque Tambor
Consists of a group of Band members and dancers in Hitchin and surrounding areas including London specialising in Afro-Brazilian Music. They rehearse weekly. If you are interested in learning how to play the rhythms of Brazil, log onto their website and get more details. For all the lovely ladies wishing to learn Samba, Samba Reggae and many other moves, you can join the weekly classes. The beauty of Samba is that you are all beautiful regardless of weight. You learn to progress each week and get to perform if you are ready when the band takes part in Festivals or Carnivals. This is fun as you get to dress up, experiment with paints and glitters. So is definitely fun.

Rhythm of the Worlds Festival
So far it looks like the festival MIGHT be taking place on the 12th & 13th July 2008. I am not sure where exactly it will be held and if it will take place, but those are the suggested dates. I hope we get a chance to have Monobloco over as they are also performing on the 12th at the Drum Camp 2008, so there could be a chance they can get to perform on the 13th. As they will definitely blow you away with their rocking and energetic performance. I will keep you posted.
Looks like the festival will go ahead. Will add more information, once i get it. 03.03.08
