Workshop Saturday (June 13)

Are you here to improve your technique or to learn new rhythms? Do you choose a workshop with a style that you also play in your band or something completely different? Or everything? Because that's certainly possible. We have put together a varied workshop program for you with eight completely different workshops from four renowned teachers. And then there is also a party evening with surprising performances. Don't know our workshop day yet? Believe us, you want to be there! You're guaranteed to meet old samba friends and you're sure to make new ones too.

Programme

On this workshop day you will follow two workshops, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. In the evening there is a party night with fun performances and in between there is plenty of time to catch up with old samba friends and make new samba friends. Lunch and dinner are provided for you and are included in your ticket. Please note, no instruments are rented/borrowed, you have to bring your own. After purchasing your ticket, you will receive an e-mail with your admission ticket and a link to a form on which you can indicate which workshops you choose and which instrument(s) you take with you.

Workshops

Morning round (10.30-13.00)				Afternoon round (14.30-17.30)
Samba Reggae \| Beginners & intermediates \| Michael de Miranda In this workshop you will discover the magical encounter between the energetic rhythms of samba and the relaxed groove of reggae. Samba brings fire, movement and party, while reggae adds space, flow and a deep pulse. Together they form a surprising mix in which strength and relaxation complement each other perfectly. Whether you are a beginner or already have some experience, you will learn how these styles reinforce each other on the different instruments. We play, listen and feel how rhythm connects people and music comes to life. Instruments with which you can participate: Caixa \| Dobra (Surdo 3) \| Fundo (Surdo 1 & 2) \| Repique \| Timba				Samba Reggae \| Intermediate & Advanced \| Michael de Miranda In this workshop we dive into the deep roots of samba-reggae and the powerful connection with Africa. The rhythms from Salvador de Bahia carry the heritage of Afro-Brazilian traditions, in which music, identity and history come together. We investigate how the grooves of blocos like Ilê Aiyê and Olodum translate African rhythmic principles into the streets of Bahia. Layered patterns, call-and-response and collective energy create a pulse that is both earthly and modern. This workshop invites you not only to play, but also to listen consciously and feel the origin of the rhythm. Instruments with which you can participate: Caixa \| Dobra (Surdo 3) \| Fundo (Surdo 1 & 2) \| Repique \| Timba
Caixa/Repique (Rio Samba) \| Meiko Meissner The caixa and the repique (or repinique) are the driving force in (rio-syle) samba.

And do you want to learn to groove like a Carioca (inhabitant of Rio de Janeiro)? Then you should come to this workshop!

Instruments with which you can participate: Agogô \| Caixa \| Chocalho \| Repique \| Surdo 1a, 2a & 3a \| Tamborim

Evening programme

After the workshops there is an evening program: A fun party night with some great performances. Who exactly will perform is a surprise. All participants of the workshops are cordially invited to the party evening, but you are also welcome if you have not participated in the workshops. The entrance fee for the evening program is striking: we ask you to bring 1 kg of shelf-stable food as an entrance, for the Groesbeek Food Bank. This idea we have looked at from the celebration of the Dia Nacional do Samba (the National Day of the Samba) where in Rio de Janeiro the samba schools of the Grupo Especial (Rio's 12 best schools, samba's premier league) organize three party nights where the entrance fee is 1 kg of shelf-stable food. The Groesbeek Food Bank asks not to bring refrigerated or frozen products, but rather products such as pastas and rice, meal sauces and mixes, hard vegetables (charcoal varieties), soups (can and pot), vegetable preserves and puree powder, canned meat and fish, shelf-stable dairy (products), toppings (jam, sprinkles, peanut butter), oils and fats.
