Chicago Samba School
 
Chicago Samba School. Percussion, percussion, percussion. The CSS is an extremely talented group of (mostly) native-born Brazilian musicians that create some of the most danceable and energetic samba jams that I have ever heard. You practically have to be a corpse not to want to dance to this music. The energy is extraordinary; the songs and the set never seem to end (which is good because you don't want them to) and the level of intensity just keeps rising. Even if the music doesn't grab you, it's a lot of fun to watch the wildly gyrating semi-clothed bodies.

On the night of the Bulls' 1992 NBA championship, the band playd on the roof of Wicker Park's Flat Iron Building during a near riot.
