Transatlântico

15.06. – 17.06.2012 - FOR BEGINNERS!

Let’s start at the very beginning:

With Transatlântico, Dudu picks up on a lot of beginners’ requests for an introductory workshop on Brazilian music. For drummers/percussionists with little or no to some previous experience, the individual instruments will be introduced and their playing techniques for the most important Brazilian rhythms practiced – taking enough time for everybody to really get the basics. The purpose of Transatlântico is for participants to be able to acquire the basic skills required for use in any Samba group, skills that can be expanded on and refined as desired.

Besides this, the music will be presented in its cultural and historical context including a one-hour dance workshop, because music and dance are absolutely inseparable in Brazil. If dancing just isn’t your thing, you can accompany the dance with an instrument. Weather providing, the workshop participants will be able to present the results on the neighboring Tempelhof Airport field, recently opened to the public.

Saturday evening, real Brazilian Feijoada will be served in PAC. Berlin also provides a lot of opportunities to hear top-class music of all genres, to enjoy an evening of socializing in one of its Brazilian bars, or to party down at one of the famous May 1st celebrations.
