Quilombo Athens

The Quilombo group was born in 2004 when our deep love for Brazil found expression in the music of Samba Batucada during a chance but decisive encounter with a great teacher, the Indian Ravi Magnifique.

Our eagerness to learn to play and the enthusiasm that stems from the collaborative nature of this music gradually created this large convergence, drawing more and more members into our team. Within a few years, the Quilombo band traveled throughout Greece, spreading the message of unity around the concept of creative community, which is reflected in our name and remains our core ideology to this day.

The belief that engaging in art, especially through collective efforts, brings immense joy to everyone and broadens communication between us, led us to the decision to establish Quilombo Centro Cultural, a cultural organization that is open to everyone and aims to host activities and events from all kinds of art.
