We had a trio from Samba New York play during the cocktail hour and first dance of our wedding.

Throughout my time with Philip, I gained the skills and knowledge to even start my own group! <\/span>Philip is a pillar in both the Brazilian music and greater NYC music communities. Without him, the Brazilian music scene may not be where it is right now. <\/b>He is an <\/span>inspiration to me, and I know many others have flourished under his guidance and teachings.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Samba New York was amazing and ever so accommodating. I was sad I had not succeeded in hiring a Samba band for my wedding and luckily, the night before the event, a friend mentioned them. I called with little hopes of finding what I wanted but I did. By 9pm, as Phillip, the band leader, promised, I would have an answer and in this case, we sealed the deal. The quality and presence of the band is also amazing! They really know what they are doing. The spirit of Brazil in a very classy way. Many many thanks for making my weeding even more memorable! Highly Recommend!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

We hired Samba New York! to do a photo op and then perform three numbers throughout our event.<\/div>

The dancers were absolutely stunning as were their costumes and everyone was rushing to get photos with them. They couldn\u2019t have been friendlier or more charming and the photos were incredible. The performance was with their drummers and it made for an eye catching and stunning interval throughout the party to keep the energy high.
Everyone was talking about the group and it was without a doubt, the hit of the party.
They are totally professional and wonderful to deal with from beginning to end and worked around our needs with great flexibility and warmth. I can recommend them to anyone – they will be the hit of your event or party!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

My entire experience with Samba New York was extraordinary. From the first phone call, to the subsequent planning calls, the final logistics discussions, the troop actually getting to my venue on time, having the performers ready on time, and putting on a great show, was nothing short of perfection. The director of Samba New York, Phillip, was professional, courteous, and accommodating. The performers were fantastic. My guests loved the drummers and were mesmerized by the dancers, especially the boys :-). The overall performance was fantastic. I would recommend this group to anyone and wish Phillip and his team much success.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Samba New York! was not only extremely professional, easy, flexible and friendly to work with — their actual performance at our party was what made the entire party a success. Until they performed, it was just a regular kind of event for our young professionals group — but they had everyone up dancing, clapping, caught up in the music and the Brazilian culture. And days later, they are still all everyone is talking about with regards to the party! Such a hit. We would work with them again in a heartbeat and recommend them most highly.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

We had Samba New York at our Mardi Gras\/Carnival party as special entertainment and it could not have been better. The planning was easy and professional with Philip staying in constant contact. The performers brought great energy and big smiles to ensure everyone had good time. The crowd was up and dancing at the encouragement of the dancers. The best tribute to the performance was as the group was leaving having changed out of costumes the whole party broke into spontaneous applause to thank then for an unforgettable experience.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

I had a group of 3 drummers and 2 samba dancers performing at my husbands 50th Birthday party and it was AMAZING!!! Philip Jalinsky is very professional and manage everything so nice. No headaches! They are very, very good musicians and the dancers were very good and engaged with the people. Our family and friends will be talking about his forever. The way that the music got everyone up dancing was great. People that I never saw dance before was so happy dancing around. I recommend this group with 5 stars in all the categories and thanks so much for making our party the Best party ever!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t
