Juba Jam • Côco fusion time! In this month’s

Juba Jam • Côco fusion time! In this month’s jam we tried out a variety of instruments (alfaia, mineiro, pandeiro and caixa) and fused together ideas from the traditions of Côco, Maracatu Nação, drum and bass, and even threw in a subtle zabumba phrase for good measure!

Join us in the new year for our next percussion and dance Juba Jams in February and March.

Côco – Traditional Music of Pernambuco

We are delighted to welcome Guga Santos (@gugasantosatelier) from Brazil to join us for this very special masterclass in the Côco music of northeastern Brazil.

This workshop is suitable for every level of experience, beginners welcome.
The workshop aims at a complete approach to Samba de Côco, not only as a rhythm and dance, but also, approaching this “brinquedo” (play) in its various aspects including the history of the Brazilian people, as well as the reality of the Northeastern people, habits, customs, forms of expression and even forms of cultivation.

Juba Jam! Yesterday was a Côco bonanza. We learned some songs, played pandeiro, mineiro, caixa, triangle, alfaia, and had a lot of fun dancing Côco.

Thanks Holly, Freya, and Louise for another great session! Look out for more Jams from September 👀
