Guests
ICU Lambs
Winners of the 2007 Asakusa Samba Carnival (S2 Samba League).
The origin of samba comes from the slaves in Brazil. They were exhausted under hard work conditions and haunted by grief. However, they found playing instruments and dancing brought them joy in life. They made a new style of music. We, LAMBS members, also feel happiness while playing and dancing to the music. Please come and feel the power of rhythm!
