WElcome to our website!

RAW Samba formed in 2001 when the call went out for enthusiastic percussionists – ‘no experience required’.

Originally funded through the Ryde Art Works programme (from which we took our name), RAW Samba has gone from strength to strength. With over 60 members who regularly practise each week, plus our dancers, we bring rhythm, fun and colour to every gig we play at. Each year we learn new grooves and for 2023 we have rebranded our look with a new logo and T-Shirts depicting the sunny Isle of Wight 

RAW Samba would like to give a big thank you to Wighlink for sponsoring our ferry crossings for our mainland performances.
