Conservatory Samba Unit @ Wauwatosa Independence Day Parade

See our Samba Unit perform at Wauwatosa Independence Day Parade on July 4, 2012!

The parade travels down on North Avenue, beginning at Mayfair Mall, and starts at 9:00am.

The Wisconsin Conservatory of Music Samba Unit is an all ages, community percussion troupe consisting of approximately 100 members total from throughout the Greater Milwaukee area, including the City of Milwaukee, Greenfield, Shorewood, West Allis, and Wauwatosa. It also has members originally hailing from Puerto Rico, Mexico, Columbia, and Brazil. Now in its third year, the Conservatory Samba Unit draws from the musical and rhythmic traditions of Samba schools in Brazil, playing on instruments crafted by the members of the troupe and made from mostly recycled and re-purposed materials.
