We are absolutely thrilled to be able to introduce one of Rio’s best known manufacturers of Samba Percussion instruments to the European audience of this years Coburg Samba Festival. The authentic sound and look of IVSOM instruments has been a successfully growing part of Kalango’s percussion assortment in the past few years. IVSOM is an active part of Rio’s Samba community, playing caixa at the famous Samba school Mocidade Independente de Padre Miguel. As Sambista and craftsman IVSOM has the knowledge and feeling it takes to make first class Rio Samba percussion. He will be at the Kalango stand open for any kind of questions or input. It’s his first time in Europe, please give him a warm welcome!
Another workshop tour with Serrinha and Chris for 2013! Kalango will be supporting this Europe wide tour with a 10% discount voucher for every samba band that books one of their workshops.
During the past workshop tours in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 Serrinha and Chris gave lessons in many different cities throughout Europe (Paris, Vienna, Bologna, Budapest, Tours, Rotterdamm, Berlin, Porto, Napoli, Glasgow, etc.) and are going to continue this “tradition” in spring/summer of 2013.
The workshop goal and general contents will be attuned to the particular band or participants, but basically Serrinha and Chris will be working on techniques, grooves and timing.
Serrinha will be mainly and intensively teaching the Caixas, while Chris’ focus lies on the Surdos, Repiques, Tamborins and Chocalhos.
