Welcome to Barulho

Barulho are a leading Brighton based Samba band. With a unique style and presence, we bring any event to life with our infectious rhythms, funky beats and spectacular performances. 

Blending Afro-Cuban and South American roots with samba reggae, funk, hip hop and drum & bass, our passion for sound is guaranteed to get you dancing and lift your spirits.  

From ‘Glamorous Cabaret’ perfect for weddings or formal events, to our ‘Travelling Freak Show Carnival’- a horde of mismatched creatures from the very depths of myth and legend - we pride ourselves on creating visually stunning costumes which turn any gig into an extraordinary experience.

We’re high energy, but low maintenance. Fully acoustic, we can set up quickly for static or mobile events.
