Sambaguru is an ensemble of musicians from Brazil, Sri Lanka, and the United States that has been playing a wide-ranging blend of original music since 1997. Their rich and extensive repertoire arises from the huge diversity in approaches and techniques that distinguish the personal and regional backgrounds of each band member. It is a vibrant band that has its own stylistic inner tensions among these players from widely separated areas of the globe who share a love of Brazilian music. The result is a musical experience of remarkable depth and quality.

Here are some reviews about Sambaguru:

"Sundayâs program immediately dipped into Brazilian sounds with singer Katia Moraes & Sambaguru. Delivering a program that ranged exuberantly across Brazilâs multiplicity of rhythms, Moraes was a bundle of galvanized energy, her quick-paced singing empowered by Sambaguruâs driving rhythm section and the well-crafted arrangements of Bill Brendle."

"....The day started off on a good omen with the long-overdue Playboy Jazz debut of the energetic Los Angeles-based band Sambaguru, featuring Brazilian singer Katia Moraes -- a born afternoon sunshine performer -- who stirred up an irresistable stew of ingredients rooted in the samba."
-Variety


"Together, they open a wide and colorful world of irresistibly compelling music..."
