Formed in 2002, Hãhãhães is named after the Indian tribe Pataxó-Hãhãhães that once inhabited the city of Salvador in Bahia, Brazil. Lead by master Afro-Brazilian percussionist Dendê, the beat is always central, but it is tempered by thought provoking lyrics and sweet melodies. Comprised of musicians of various backgrounds, the groups’ diversity permeates its music with rhythms ranging from Nigerian Afrobeat to Brazilian Samba to Cuban Pilón.

Leslie: percussion and vocals
Marivaldo dos Santos: percussion

i wish i could....SOBS used to be my fav club for live music in the city...
there used be a saturday nite show starting at 2am featuring
the NY Samba Connection (not sure of the name)....but there were
like 20 samba drummers on stage...
and between mojitos and the bands energy, people often
danced on the tables....

but its a bit far for me now since im living in florida....

i really hope you and your husband go to sobs....i would love to hear
about the show...
