Ten days of curated culture, ocean views, live music, and unforgettable experience

Not Just a Vacation – A Cultural Immersion Through Music
This isn’t a “see it from the bus window” trip.
For 10 days, you’ll experience Brazil as a welcomed guest, not a tourist. We’ll dance samba where locals dance, eat at restaurants that tell a story, support Black and women-led businesses in Bahia, and learn the history and heartbeat of Brazil through music, food, and community.

-
Live music and dance
-
Black history & Afro-diasporic connections
-
Beach days with real cultural depth

Small-group, stress-free travel where everything is handled for you
