Led by multi-instrumentalist and Brazilian music expert, David Rumpler, the goal of this 2 hour workshop will be to introduce listeners and performers to the principle Brazilian rhythms, the styles associated with them, and provide some background about where, when, and how these styles evolved. The concepts of time signature (2/4 vs 4/4), "clave" (as a general concept) and "rhythmic timeline" will be discussed. Among the rhythms to be covered: Samba (Samba de Roda, Samba de Enredo, Samba do Morro, Samba-Soul, and Partido Alto), Bossa Nova, Bloco-Afro and Maracatu. We will listen to examples of each style, learn to clap and/or play the rhythms on percussion instruments, and talk about what makes each rhythm unique. There is no prerequisite for this session. Listening and playing from 2:30 to 4:00, followed by Q&A and some time to socialize from 4:00-4:30 Some hand percussion (shakers, etc) will be provided.
Morningside Studios is located at 13a Medford St. Arlington, MA (2nd floor walkup)
Cost $10
Note: The event is limited to 15 participants. No walk-ins.
