Brazilian-Latinos Unidos of
Humanities High School - Mission

The name of our club is Brazilian-Latinos Unidos of Humanities High School. Our mission is to promote Brazilian culture to our fellow students through the national music of Brazil: Samba. Our club is composed of "Sambistas" (student who play samba music), Samba dancers ('Passistas"), and "Capoeristas" (students who practice the Brazilian martial arts/dance Capoeira). Brazilian - Latinos Unidos of Humanities High School accepts any student interested in the culture of the largest nation in South America. Our club performs throughout the year with an emphasis on the Annual Multicultural Show in March. Our dream is to build a Junior Samba Band of high school students with dancers and Capoeiristas in order to have an active cultural exchange with the Brazilian cities of Salvador de Bahia and Rio de Janiero. In the process of achieving our dream, we hope to expose the young people of the New York City public schools to the richness, diversity and excitement of Brazilian culture.
