Collective percussion playing, active audience participation and the cultural diversity of its artists bring its slogan to life: SAMAJAM \u2729 YOU are the Show.<\/p>\n<p>Its story began in 1994 with Louis Bellemare, its founder and artistic director. In 2026, that journey represents 32 years of experience and more than 6,000 productions presented in 10 countries.<\/p>\n<p>Each year, SAMAJAM presents between 700 and 1,000 productions of all sizes in Quebec, Canada and internationally: workshops, shows, team building activities and custom events.<\/p>\n<p>Every day, somewhere in the world, people play, feel the energy and come together to the rhythm of SAMAJAM!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/samajam.ca\/en\/about-us\/\">Discover the SAMAJAM story<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details id=\"sj-question-2\">\n<summary>\n<h3>What is a SAMAJAM 100% participatory musical experience?<\/h3>\n<\/summary>\n<div class=\"sj-answer\">\n<p>SAMAJAM creates 100% participatory musical experiences where participants become musicians.

SAMAJAM\u2019s professional artist-facilitators demonstrate the movements, set the rhythm and guide the group step by step. The first sounds become shared rhythms, and the joy of playing together takes over, even if you have never picked up an instrument.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details id=\"sj-question-4\">\n<summary>\n<h3>Are the instruments provided?<\/h3>\n<\/summary>\n<div class=\"sj-answer\">\n<p>Yes. For shows and activities where participants play percussion, SAMAJAM provides the instruments: djembes, ClavSticks, SAMAJAM Music Tubes\u2122, SAMAJAM tambourines or other percussion instruments, depending on the experience.<\/p>\n<p>Dance and body percussion experiences use movement and the body. Other formats, such as the Percussion Guard of Honor, feature artists performing to welcome your audience and do not necessarily include instruments for participants.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"sj-category-2\" aria-labelledby=\"sj-heading-2\">\n<h2 id=\"sj-heading-2\">TEAM BUILDING AND CORPORATE EVENTS<\/h2>\n<details id=\"sj-question-5\">\n<summary>\n<h3>What is SAMAJAM musical team building?<\/h3>\n<\/summary>\n<div class=\"sj-answer\">\n<p>SAMAJAM musical team building brings your team together around a challenge: making music together.
