April 9, 2018Totally awesome!
These guys were great in my 50th birthday party! They made the party in my opinion. Everybody loved them. So different. The drums are awesome, the girls are beautiful. After the little show they got everyone to dance with them it was really great. And Ron is great to work with, coordinated with my event planner seamlessly. Totally professional. Thank you!

About
Samba Dancers
The Samba Novo Band was started in 1986 by Percussionist Ron DeFrancesco. We are a well rehearsed group of dancers, drummers and musicians. We can provide solo Samba Dancers or anything up to our 30 piece Show (as seen at Radio City Music Hall). We are the only serious choice!
Please check us out carefully to know what you will be getting for your event. No agents here, I am the leader of The Samba Novo Band and I pride myself on offering the very best Brazilian entertainment. I am proud to say we are now in our 39th year and going stronger then ever!
*You will never see staged photos, video or over dubbed music, everything we post is from live events! Samba Novo Dancers are from Brasil, South America and our Drummers from Brasil and South America, The real deal with the real feel, and sound!!
Note: * We are fully Insured. Most venues will not allow bands and performers without Insurance.
Thank you,
Ron DeFrancesco
