Hosted by Sambastef
Eventbrite
Dates: Friday 10th to Sunday 12th November 2023
Tutor Ravin Jayasuriya
Workshop details:
The weekend will cover carnival rhythms from Brazil (Samba, Samba Reggae & Maracatu), Raz will also teach grooves that mix elements from Brazilian & Cuban rhythms creating uplifting and funky dance grooves, which are challenging and enjoyable to learn.
Raz’s clear instruction will help to develop your listening and drumming skills. By the end of the workshop, you’ll be fully aware of the interplay between the instruments and understand how the pieces are put together. We’ll also explore dynamics within the arrangements and work on playing techniques for each of the instruments.
This workshop is not only an opportunity for participants to progress on the instruments they usually play in their local groups but it is also a great chance to try out some new instruments.
We’ll be working with: Surdos, Repiniques, Caixas, Tamborims, Agogos, Timbas, Ganzas (Chocalhos).
The weekend is also a great opportunity to meet other samba heads from all over!
The workshop will include 15 hours of tuition (instrument technique and ensemble) and is open to all participants with prior experience in samba drumming (but you don’t have to be an expert!)
