The Trinity Samba Ensemble is a group of students who perform at various events on campus and in the greater [[hartford|Hartford]] community. The group was established in 2004 and grew out of a music performance course started by Professor of Music, Eric Galm. The course focuses on traditional Brazilian samba drumming and its related musical styles and genres. The group performs participatory call-and-response songs in Portuguese and English.

The Samba Ensemble has performed at shows put on by the Theatre and Dance department, at President [[berger-sweeney_joanne|Joanne Berger-Sweeney's]] inauguration, and most notably, at [[samba_fest|Samba Fest]], an annual celebration of Brazilian and other cultural music held on Trinity's campus.
