Sydney Maria's Oba Oba International is rooted in the world of performing artists – dancers, singers, musicians, capoeira and comedians. Sydney's passion for the Brazilian culture and art springs from his having grown-up in their midst, Rio de Janeiro. As a young man, he immigrated to the United States and brought with him his great love for his heritage and its beauty. Every event, production, festival and show is designed to present an authentic Brazilian experience.
