Afro-Brazilian Drum Class
Learn to drum some Brazilian beats with Batalá. This group class will break down the music you’ve heard Batalá play, step by step. Students will be guided in proper stick technique, body positioning, and performance strategies, and dynamics for playing any of 4 different drums and other percussion instruments. Play the big surdo to bring in that deep base, the repique to send up that clave, or the agogo bell to resonate and inspire. The class will also include light choreography and Afro-Brazilian movement technique—appreciating the drum as an extension of the body. Every class will feature different rhythms, including Samba Reggae, Samba Duro, Samba Mambo, and Samba Afro.
This class is for all levels. Instruments and gear provided on first come basis. All genders are welcome. No prior musical experience necessary.
