“Thank you for your wonderful efforts and the outstanding efforts and performance of Bloco Alegria this weekend. Your band was amazingly flexible, responsive, professional, and an absolute delight to have as guests with the PCSO. Our patrons were thrilled with the addition of Bloco Alegria — as was the orchestra and I — and they especially loved the exciting send-off in the lobby immediately following the on-stage performance.

It was a pleasure and an honor to collaborate, and I hope we will have the opportunity to perform together again in the future.

Best wishes for your continued performances and your certain success.”

“Wow!! Thanks to Bloco Alegria I had an amazing time celebrating my 50th Birthday. It was a dream come true when I found out they were able to play since I wanted to do something big and fun for this special ocassion.
Everyone at the party was so excited when Bloco Algeria started playing. We couldn’t stop dancing, even if we don’t know how to dance, the music makes you move, even shy people got up to dance. We felt like we were in Brasil.
I had a lot of comments from my guests saying it was a great party and it was the best party I have ever had. We had so much fun enjoying the music.
Eveyone in the group did such an amazing job playing, their energy and smiles just filled our hearts with joy. Great group to have a party!🥳”

“I wanted to thank you again for the AMAZING performance you guys put on Saturday. People keep reaching out to me to tell me what a great time they had, and to tell me how much they enjoyed your music. Words cannot express how much we appreciate it and how much it meant to us and to the Lewis Community. Especially to my son and the other LGBTQ kids that got to see their first pride parade! It was heartwarming to see them all coming together. I’m getting lots of requests to do it again next year, so expect to be hearing back from us next spring!”

“I cannot tell you enough how amazing Bloco Alegria truly is. The excitement and positivity you all bring to a concert is downright infectious. Summer Free For All and the Ventura Park Concert Series Committee are more than pleased.”

“After the show, out on the street, where the troupe of percussionists who had joined the band on stage for the last number were assembled with their instruments, loud, vigorous samba rhythms filled SW 3rd Avenue, bouncing off the Keller’s walls, illuminating the receding audience, drowning out the traffic, and adorning Keller Fountain Park with the festive sounds of Afro-Latin carnaval music. The group was Portland’s Bloco Alegria, which means both “happy band” and “jolly streets” . . . doing their usual street thing.”

“Bloco Alegria is a phenomenal Dance and percussion organization with a blessed mission to give the audience a Multicultural experience. I’m looking forward to sharing the stage with the Bloco Alegria family you soon.”

“Thank you so much for being part of our event, and for the positive energy and life that Bloco Alegria brought to the audience! The dancers were wonderful, beautiful and very engaging. We would love to have Bloco’s energetic sounds and dance at future Metro events. We can still feel the great energy infused by your performance!

Also, thank you for being so responsive and exact with your times. That makes a world of difference when executing an event.

Mil gracias!”

“You all were awesome! The audience loved your energy and it was a great finale touch for the afternoon line up. Thanks for putting it all together and being flexible as we figured logistics out.

Enjoy the season....

“BRAVO Bloco Alegria!
Bloco Alegria delivered a magnificent performance at the 4th Annual Inner City Blues Festival. The explosion of the Rio Samba Band and beautiful Dancers transported over 700 Festival attendees to Brazil during Carnival time! This Multi Cultural presentation was a big hit for our Event.”

“Bloco Alegria is by far the best and most fun Brazilian carnaval band in the US that I have ever seen. The members of this amazing band truly embrace Brazilian culture. More than just a business partner, they have become my good friends. ”

“Bloco Alegria are a great and exciting Brazilian percussion troupe. They can expand to include singers and dancers dependent upon the occasion. I hand picked them for the Dandy Warhol’s Christmas show at the Crystal this past December. They were a big hit and a total pleasure to work with.”
