Course Description This class has as its focus some of the primary drumming styles from Salvador da Bahia: Candomble, Samba de Roda and Carnaval. Rhythms will be drawn from the 3 ‘nations’ of Candomble (Angola, Jeje and Ketu), the country and city styles of Samba de Roda, and the major Carnaval groups (Bloco Afros) of Ile Aiye, Olodum, Timbalada, and Filhos de Gandhy. Time permitting Maracatu from Recife and Escola da Samba from Rio de Janeiro will also be covered. As this is a performance ensemble, its success is contingent upon everyone’s cooperation in working together. Showing up on time, learning ones part and respecting the rules, when followed by everyone, makes for a great learning experience and for a lot of fun. |
