Μια εμπειρία στον μουσικό κόσμο της Αφρικάνικης παράδοσης της Βραζιλίας.
Χρησιμοποιώντας τα κρουστά όσο και το σώμα ως όργανο, θα ξεκινήσουμε από την κατανόηση των ρυθμικών δομών του Candombié και τη μουσική τους σύνδεση με τους μύθους και τις ιστόρίες των Orixás.
Θα ανακαλύψουμε πως ενσωματώνονται διαφορετικές μουσικές εκφράσεις και τραγούδια μέσα στην παράδοση και πως- μέσω του ρυθμού- διηγούμαστε ιστορίες.
