Folk songs and rhythms from Southamerica with Maria Luana (from Brazil and Uruguay)🇧🇷🇺🇾

A workshop to dive in the richness of South American songs and rhythms where you will learn and practice songs from Uruguay, Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Chile and Colombia. We will develop this repertoire through music games, body percussive rhythmic exercises, improvisation practices, and responsive songs that will help you develop expressive resources that are present in the Latin American way of singing. A workshop that will expand your creative and cultural horizons and also your listening, musicality and spontaneity.

Don’t leave after the workshop… 

after, we will be going for a picnic and at 3pm, we will enjoy ‘THE BIG SING’, where, alongside collaborators, Phoebe Osborne and Tiziana Pozzo, we will create a large formation of Musica Do Circulo (Brazilian) singing and body percussion in the park. Keep the afternoon free!
