Afro-Brazilian Percussion Workshop w Mestre Chuvisquinho ( Sinha Capoeira )

We are so excited to start the year with Masacote’s Afro Oriented Workshop Series. We will host different workshops throughout the year where you will have the opportunity to do more than just learn salsa. You will explore the various forms of the Afro movements, dance and percussion tradition through different movements and sounds representing the Orishas (deities from the African traditions). Making this connection will allow you to embrace dance and the music through a cultural context in community with other salsa dancers. Mestre Chuvisquinho is a capoeira master who not only has mastered the art of the Afro-Brazilian art, but mastered the drum, He grew up instilled with the sounds of a culture that emanates African ancestry, and with it it’s rituals, practices and sounds. He can create magic with the drums. We are fortunate to have Mestre Chuvisquinho to lead and teach us on learning how to engage with the drums. You’ll want to experience this for yourself.
