SambaLa Samba SchoolIn March, 1994, SambaLá's charter was signed. Launched on the final's of the World cup in 1994, SambaLá got off to a wonderful start. And in April of 1995, SambaLá Samba School became the first samba school in the world on the World Wide Web. Since then, the phenomenal growth of SambaLá has been tremendous and is due to in part to its long history on the Internet.
But its growth is due mostly to the spirit of its members and their love for Brazil and Samba. I hope that these pages reflect this love and make your visit to our small piece of cyberspace an enjoyable one!
These pages like all WWW pages are in constant flux and are updated to reflect our every-growing and changing organization. If you have any questions or comments, don't hesitate to use our comments form to send them at info@sambala.org.

Soul BrazilSoul Brasil magazine started from a dream on January 1, 2002, after partying down the whole night celebrating the New Year. It was the kickoff of this project. In June 11, 2002, our dream became a reality and Soul Brasil magazine was distributed for the first time in the Brazilian Summer Festival at the ford Amphitheater in Hollywood. Since then, we continue with our hard work, a lot of perseverance, professionalism and integrity, as well positivism in mind! We are growing step by step and from 3,000 issues and 24 pages with the first edition, we reach 10,000 issues and 36 pages in our edition number 10. We started with 56 points of distribution, which 44 was Brazilians and a few not Brazilians. In the summer of 2004, we reached 219 points of distribution, which 139 was Brazilians and 80 was Americans (or not Brazilians). Today (Dec/2006) we print 15.000 magazines for each of the 6 regular issues per year and 20.000 magazines in our summer annual special issue. Our circulation is based in Los Angeles County (48%%), Santa Barbara County (7%), San Diego County (13%), Orange County (5%), Bay Area/San Francisco (20%), Las Vegas (2%) and others (5% that include Hawaii and all Brazilian Consulates in U.S ).
