Samba Band Sydney practice video for anybody wanting to learn some of unidos da Tijuca Breaks or Bossa.

This video is from one of Rio's powerful samba schools  Unidos da Tijuca Bateria   The video is taken at one of their street rehearsal on Av Venezuela.

I had to wait for a couple of hours in the pouring rain. In this clip Tijuca had just got the drums out of the back of the van and were warming up before playing the 2013 enredo. Here is a quick clip of the some of the breaks from the enredo.
