Ritmistas MTL accepts new members all year round.
Whether or not you have previous experience, if you have a sense of rhythm, you can learn to play one of the batucada instruments and participate in the shows!
The “bateria de samba” system is very specific and Ritmistas MTL is true to Rio samba. We play extracts from the most famous samba schools of the Rio de Janeiro (G.R.E.S. Portela, G.R.E.S. Mangueira, G.R.E.S. Mocidade Independente de Padre Miguel, G.R.E.S. Acadêmicos do Grande Rio…) and São Paulo (G.R.E.S. Mocidade Alegre ).
There are no limits to the number of musicians, the group can grow to several hundred people, what’s important is keeping a balance between the sections.
