We are pleased to announce our second Creating Carnival Singapore programme.
The Global Grooves team will be delivering a series of percussion, dance and song master-classes and workshop in collaboration with the numerous carnival collectives based in the City.
The programme will feature open workshops in partnership with Singapura Dub Club & Aliwal Arts Centre as well a programme of intensive closed masterclasses in partnership with Bloco Singapura
A two day intensive masterclass for advanced dancers and musicians wanting to increase and consolidate their understanding of Orixa music and dance traditions.
“Don’t be scared. It will challenge you positively and make you a better musician – whatever style you play.” – Percussion and Songs of the Orixas participant, Manchester
This masterclass will explore how traditional ritual phrasing and styles have influenced carnival rhythms today and we will put together unique grooves and breaks using Brazilian carnival instruments.
“What can I say? Its Samba Reggae and I love it. If you want to learn from some amazing tutors then Global Grooves is the place to do it.” – Participant – Global Grooves Samba Reggae Masterclass
