Batucada workshop

An exhilarating and enjoyable experience with a playful and inclusive approach

The orchestra and collaborative effort

Participants will discover the power of teamwork, recognizing the significance of each element within the orchestra, as well as within their company. They will grasp the importance of listening and how their personal energy contribution is essential for achieving a common goal.

Activity progression

We have a workshop leader overseeing the session, supported by a team of musicians to direct each section of our orchestra. The rhythms we employ are straightforward, catering to participants who may be new to playing instruments.

We kick off with body percussion and vocal exercises, imparting the fundamental knowledge that will be utilized throughout the workshop, lasting around ten to fifteen minutes.

Prior to distributing the instruments, we introduce each one individually. In our case, we utilize drums characteristic of Brazilian batucadas, as they have proven to provide a rewarding experience for participants upon completing the activity. We offer four types of instruments. In the subsequent phase, we distribute the equipment and prepare for an engaging and dynamic experience, especially for those who have never witnessed or engaged in a batucada, reminiscent of the vibrant styles of Salvador de Bahia or Rio de Janeiro. All under the guidance of experienced instructors and professional musicians with extensive industry expertise.

Conclusion

To wrap up, once the instruments are set aside, the director will provide a brief analysis lasting approximately five minutes on the shared experience. They will offer positive feedback on the outcomes and underscore the notion that only through concerted effort and collaboration can we confront new challenges and achieve truly remarkable results.
