Inaugural program - built on 20 years of Salvador cultural connections
This inaugural program brings together Salvador's most respected cultural groupsβOlodum, DidΓ‘, IlΓͺ AiyΓͺβwith instructors who've taught thousands of international students over two decades.
You won't just learn rhythmsβyou'll experience authentic Salvador culture through exclusive visits to Olodum's rehearsal space. You'll taste acarajΓ© made by the same woman who feeds the band. You'll walk Pelourinho with guides who grew up in its colonial houses.
