Bloco

Bloco music is a vibrant and rhythmic genre rooted in Brazilian carnival culture, characterized by its infectious percussion-driven sound. Originating from the community-based "bloco" street parades of Rio de Janeiro, it features a lively ensemble of drums, tambourines, and other percussion instruments, often accompanied by brass and woodwinds. Celebrated for its festive energy and communal spirit, bloco music invites both participants and onlookers to join in the joyous revelry of samba-infused beats.
