Workshop in Berlin on October 1st

We at Cortejo Baiano are excited to have César Veloso, the former mestre of the Bloco Afro Malê Debalê, as our exclusive guest teacher at the MusikFabrik. In his workshop, he will present some grooves of his own, which have had a strong musical influence on the Bloco Malê Debalê and some of which are still played there today - so you will get a deep insight into authentic beats from one of the oldest afro blocos in Salvador! César Veloso is well-known and popular in the international samba scene for his didactic style and structured, clear teaching. The course is multilingual, international guests are very welcome. If necessary, Eddie will translate for you into German, English, French and Spanish.

Private training sessions for your bloco are welcome - please get in touch

The workshop in Berlin is aimed at players with previous experience who are confident on their instrument. A limited number of instruments are available for borrowing.
