Following on from the highly successful workshops and performances held in May, November and December 09 this project is aimed at both previous participants and anyone with some experience in drumming and/or singing. We have one full Saturdays rehearsal to prepare for a procession and static performance in the Dorchester Festival on Sat 29th May, playing the rhythms and songs of Maracatu - a Brazilian style of music and performance related to Samba.

The workshop will be led by Magic Drum facilitators Glyn Bush and Ralph Cree, having been trained by Sam Alexander - an early member of the first UK samba group, the London School of Samba who has established samba groups across the UK, as well living in Brazil and working with internationally acclaimed group Olodum. This workshop is recommended for anyone with an interest in drumming or Brazilian music.

Participants will then be performing in the Dorchester Festival 2010 in the Grand Parade and onstage in South Street on Sat 29th May.

Drums and percussion provided. Please bring your own lunch and refreshments.
