✩ WHAT IS THE TEAM BUILDING SHOW ✩ SAMAJAM?

NEW ✩ NOW AVAILABLE IN QUEBEC

Team Building Show ✩ SAMAJAM is a 100% participatory musical team building experience show, structured by the SAMAJAM™ ✩ PercPACT Method. Adapted from the international show SAMAJAM, presented in 10 countries and seen by more than 1.1 million spectators, it is designed for corporate groups of 100 participants or more, with a capacity of up to 5,000 participants depending on the format.

Guided by two international SAMAJAM artist-facilitators, your participants receive up to 3 percussion instruments and are immediately immersed in a world tour of rhythms from 8 regions.
