Global Spring: Samba de Roda
A Celebration of Afro-Brazilian Culture
Instructions for the audience and participants: Meeting at 17.00 by the Sibelius Academy information desk, Musiikkitalo 3rd floor, Töölönlahdenkatu 16C. The participants will be taken to the dance studio as a group. We will ask the audience to be present on time.
Samba de roda is the oldest form of samba originating in rural areas of Bahia state and it has strong african roots. Samba de roda is practised in a circle where playing, singing, dancing, and clapping happens.
Improvisation and playfulness are very important in samba de roda. Everybody participates and it fosters a sense of togetherness within the community. Participants engage in social interaction and collaborative music-making, forging strong bonds and deepening connections among all its members.
In this workshop the participants have a unique opportunity to experience samba de roda in a dynamic way by playing the rhythms with percussion instruments, clapping, learning traditional songs and by learning the basic steps of dance with simple exercises. We will end the workshop with a real ”roda” circle full of amazing energy!
The teachers José Santos (Bom Cabelo) and Marjaana Markkanen have studied samba de roda and other Afro-Brazilian rhythms and dances during many years with the old masters in Bahia and elsewhere in Brazil.

Mannerheimintie renovation project
Access to the Musiikkitalo from the direction of Mannerheimintie will be difficult. We recommend that you allow enough time for your arrival and use the entrance on the side of Kansalaistori if possible.
