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.
BlocoFunk is a high-energy, funky dance band with a Brazilian twist. From PhillyBloco director Mike Stevens, BlocoFunk combines the infectious rhythms/drums of Brazil with popular tunes from multiple genres including Funk, Soul, Samba, New Orleans 2nd Line and more. All of these tunes are mashed up into one, non-stop dance party that anyone can enjoy. BlocoFunk is 12 members strong, with a Samba drum section, horns, bass, guitar and singers.
