Afon Sistema is coming to The Canteen this May, with an evening of drumming and dancing.

Maracatu is a Brazilian artform originating in Recife, Pernambuco. Drawing on origins from African, Indigenous & Portuguese influences, Maracatu is one of the most popular Carnival rhythms in the North-East of Brazil. Afon Sistema has been running for 10 years here in Bristol, and we are dedicated to studying and performing this music in a holistic way.

Professional and tightly choreographed, with musicians drawn from long established Samba groups in the South West and beyond, winners of Bath Carnival, St Pauls Carnival and recently at a Maracatu event in Bordeaux, France in 2019.

+DJ'S till 2am!
