The Tambores do Brasil Music Project
Tambores do Brasil
Tambores do Brasil is a performance percussion group founded by BrasArte in 2001. It was created with two goals in mind -- 1) to produce top quality Brazilian percussion and 2) to provide ongoing education for children and adults.
Some of the artists who have taught or performed with Tambores include:
* Jorge Alabe (taught at Camp Ere [BrasArt'e summer day camp for children])
* Rich Rice (performed and taught at Camp Ere)
* Marcio and Julio of Ile Aye (sponsored by BrasArte to perform with Tambores)
* Mark (Bateria) Rendon (taught adult and children's percussion at World Dance Center)
* Abel Damasceno (taught adult and children’s classes at World Dance Center and at Camp Ere)
* Benjamin (the BrasArte intern will teach children's classes)
Tambores do Brasil Project for 2013
BrasArte has created a proposal to bring Carlinhos Pandeiro de Ouro form Los Angeles once a month to teach a group of students with the goal of creating a ‘pandeiro orchestra’.
Carlinhos is a world famous pandeiro master from the Mangeira Samba School and winner of Brasil's Pandeiro de Ouro award. He was one of the two small boys dancing on the original Black Orpheus movie. In 2011, he received a National Heritage Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts.
BrasArte plans to offer classes free of charge to low income and at risk children and teens. Students will learn to play the pandeiro as well as how to do tricks and juggling.
