In 2024 I’ll be in Europe from May 14th to June 4th to give Brazilian percussion workshops. You can choose between two different types of workshop. The first is called “Traditional samba from Rio de Janeiro”, in which we’ll see: the samba basic patterns, instruments technique, the role of each instrument, the characteristics of Rio’s most traditional baterias; the elements of arrangement and the Bossas, the Breaks. In this workshop I approach the basic characteristics of samba plus the new inventions (new breaks, new grooves) that the baterias are doing for the carnival 2023. Is fresh information straight from the source.
The other option is the “contemporary batucada” workshop. In this one I teach Instruments technique and elements of arrangement as well but is focused on doing adaptations of grooves from Brazilian popular culture, like maracatu, côco, maculelê, jongo, among others and funk, pop and shuffle grooves as well.
In this tour I’ll be releasing my new percussion course called “Samba School Drumming Course”. So if you’re interested in bringing me to your city or university to teach your percussion group or if you want more information about the tour send me a message to mail@sambabeats.com.br. I’ll love to have you in this journey through Brazilian music! See you there!
This tour is supported by Contemporânea Percussion Instruments and Kalango
