About Us

Enriching our community with Brazilian culture

Vamo La means "Let's Go!" in Portuguese, and we do just that -- we get people going! Our Seattle-based Brazilian drum and dance ensemble  brings the spirit of Carnaval to life through vibrant parades and performances. Our main focus is on Rio-style samba, but we perform a variety of other music and dance styles from all over Brazil.

Our History

VamoLá was founded in 2000 by a musician named Tom Armstrong along with his wife and a group of friends and community members that shared an interest in samba and Brazilian culture.


Today, we’re still going strong, and our group is led by a Steering Committee of drummers and dancers:
