CAVAQUINHO WORKSHOPS WILL BE LED BY ROBINHO

Robinho is a sambista who anchors samba and Brazilian music in Germany in his own way to bring out the strength and energy of samba. His musical pieces are based on "partido alto" and "roots-samba" which are associated with big names such as: Zeca Pagodinho, Arlindo Cruz, etc ...

Through his unique embodiment of samba from the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, Robinho has successfully established himself in the samba scene in Bavaria and now also throughout Germany. A proof of his talent is undoubtedly the annual participation in the Coburg Festival - with SambaMobil and Escola de Samba Primeira de Erlangen. Like every year in Nuremberg, the "Blue Night" took place again with growing enthusiasm. Again, Robinho has won the audience with his samba group and as an artist.

The invitation of the Martin Luther Association in Bavaria to participate in the 150th anniversary celebration confirmed the artist's recognition in the region. Numerous performances in bars and restaurants make Robinho an indispensable part of gatronomy and nightlife.

Robinho is a sambista who shares the joy and energy of samba with all the people who visit and accompany him in his shows.
