Brazilian band Casa Samba brought authentic Brazilian music, food and dancing to the St. Charles Room on April 18. A Brazilian dance troupe called Casa Samba entertained guests with colorful outfits, detailed designs and dance moves straight from the tropical South American country. The dance group is stationed in New Orleans and prides itself on being the first samba school in the city. The mission of the group is to present audiences with an authentic Brasilian Carnival and folk arts experience. Casa Samba has a vision to turn the adults and children of New Orleans into practitioners of Brasilian traditional music. The Brasil Sensacional! event served as a fundraiser to support international students at Loyola.
