Harlem Samba

Cocktails at Cooper Hewitt

Join us an evening of Brazilian music, cocktails and dancing, held in celebration of The Jewish Museum’s exhibition dedicated to the great Brazilian Modernist designer Roberto Burle Marx. Cocktails and light fare for purchase from Tarallucci e Vino. Held rain or shine.

Enjoy the sounds of Harlem Samba, a Brazilian Percussion ensemble modeled after the samba school baterias of the Rio de Janeiro carnival. The group’s members are students, alumni and friends of the Frederick Douglass Academy, a high performing public high school in Harlem, New York City.
