We're delighted to invite you to a special Maracat

We're delighted to invite you to a special Maracatu chat, live-streamed to your living room direct from Olinda, Pernambuco. A special conversation with Anderson Nogueira (@andersonmaraca) and live translation from the wonderful Mariana Rabello Pinho (Gandaia Arts @gandaiaorg ), who will be sharing some of her experience also.

Make sure you sign up to the FB event page (link in bio)

This is an opportunity to learn more about the roots of Maracatu and its role in Brazilian culture. Whether you know a lot or Maracatu is new to you, there’s something for everyone. This is a great opportunity for anyone interested in music, dance and culture from North East Brazil. Anderson is an incredible teacher, choreographer, costume designer, and dance co-ordinator of Maracatu Nação Pernambuco, he has worked in this field for the last 15 years, performing and coordinating cultural organisations.
.
The event will be live streamed to our Facebook and Youtube channels, however we’re inviting a suggested donation of £3 - £5 for those who are waged and free to unemployed/unable to work currently.
Donations can be made to: www.paypal.me/jubadoleao
.
Pre-chat Questions: do you have any questions about Maracatu to ask Anderson? Either comment below or email your question to info@jubadoleao.com. We will need your questions by 8th February.

HAPPY 15TH BIRTHDAY JUBA DO LEÃO! . Fri 7th Octo

HAPPY 15TH BIRTHDAY JUBA DO LEÃO!
.
Fri 7th October 2005
In a community hall in Manchester, I stood before a group of drummers and dancers ready to kick off our first ever Maracatu workshop, fresh back from Brazil with a pile of drums and a whole lot of enthusiasm!
.
Fast forward 15 years…
.
Our incredible performers, friends, and superfans have brought about such happiness and joy in the world. Through gigs, workshops, Juba Jams, dance sessions, weekly classes, visits from international friends, and online meet-ups, we’ve enjoyed a very special journey together with so many friends and artists along the way.
.
We’ve recorded an album, focused on dance and visual arts projects, performed at some of the most kick-ass national events alongside our peers, rinsed every tombola in the Northwest, told the story of a very special cultural tradition, and in more recent years established our youth partnership project Jubacana. We hope we’ve inspired members of our community to learn more about the background and stories of the music and dance they love.
.
Like many of our Carnival pals, we’ve really felt the loss of a packed summer of 2020 gigs. We’d usually be out in the sun (or more often, drizzle!) smiling and twirling down a parade route, doing our level best to spread intensely good vibes and inspire people to get involved. Though it may feel distant at the moment, we still do that, and we still do that together. These traditions, this art, and this sense of community have been around for hundreds of years, and all of that love, joy, and prosperity isn’t going anywhere long term. It is a time to hold fast and set sail for sunnier days.
.
From the bottom of my heart, I thank everyone who’s been part of this journey for helping me realise one of the most satisfying artistic endeavours I ever turned my hand to. I have grown as this project has grown, and that will be with me forever. To every mentor, member, ancestor, and confused-lady-with-her-shopping-bags-at-a-town-centre-gig, I salute you.
.
Love and peace. Inspiring positive change and action in our world.
.
We’ll be back, all of us.
.
