SambaDa live in Santa Cruz

Experience SambaDa live on July 25th

SambaDa is scheduled to perform at Abbott Square Market in Santa Cruz, California on July 25, 2026. The group presents a vibrant blend of Brazilian samba, incorporating elements of funk, soul, and jazz. Their performances are characterized by energetic rhythms, dynamic instrumentation – often featuring percussion, guitar, and vocals – and a focus on both traditional and original compositions within the samba tradition.

Abbott Square Market itself is a publicly accessible, open-air marketplace located in the heart of downtown Santa Cruz. Established in 2018 following extensive renovations to a formerly underutilized city block, it functions as a community gathering space and supports local businesses. The market features a curated selection of food vendors, artisan shops, and frequently hosts live music and cultural events. Its design incorporates both permanent vendor stalls and flexible spaces suitable for performances like the upcoming SambaDa concert. The square aims to foster a lively atmosphere while providing economic opportunities for local entrepreneurs. It is managed by the City of Santa Cruz Parks & Recreation Department.
