For your pandemic listening pleasure!
Hear the music you have seen Samba Fogo perform live in concert, now in the comfort of your own home.
It may feel like the world has ended, as live shows have all but disappeared. Clubs are shuttered. Broadway is dark. Many performing arts companies are struggling or shutting down. At Samba Fogo our flame still burns bright - we are still out here tending our creative fire, shining bright through the darkness.

“É o Samba, é o Fogo,
O Samba Fogo Arrebate o Coração”
Purchase O Fogo Brilha Album
Covid-19 opened up a door for us… the cancelling of literally every performance in 2020 enabled us to create our first full-length, professionally mixed and mastered album!
Recorded in 65 days at Boho Digitalia in Salt Lake City, Utah, “O Fogo Brilha” (“The Fire Shines”) is Samba Fogo’s socially distanced response to the challenge of art-making during a global pandemic. We cannot play music together right now, but we can enjoy this album together, as we all
stay home and stay safe this Winter.
