Unidos da Filadelfia (Philadelphia United) is a community-based samba school
modeled after the Carnaval parade organizations of Rio de Janeiro and Salvador
da Bahia in Brazil. Founded in 2005, the school's mission is to spread
the joy and excitement of Brazilian percussion through music education
and performance. Members of the school have the opportunity to play
the traditional percussion instruments and learn the rhythmic styles
of Brazilian Carnaval, and to perform at various community events.
No prior musical experience is necessary.

If you would like to join our school, or would like to hire Unidos to
perform at your event, please contact Michael Stevens (founder/director)
at: sambafreak13@gmail.com
