An interactive workshop for singers and guitarists. The musicians of Canteca de Macao will lead off with some palmas techniques and exercises, then will teach students 2-3 letras por bulerias to sing for each other. Guitarists will get helpful tips for accompaniment. The second hour will be a juerga where everyone tries out what was taught, and anyone is welcome to jump in to dance to the new letras! The workshop is designed for intermediate level students but can accommodate beginners as well. All ages welcome!
The Madrid-based Canteca de Macao has caused a stir in international music circles in recent years with its wild blend of flamenco, rumba, rock, punk, reggae, salsa and jazz. One of Spain’s most popular live acts, the group makes each performance into an exciting and joyful party. For this program, the nine-member group, which includes a juggler, features selections from Agua pa’ la tierra (2009, Warner), its new CD which fervidly deals with life, the planet, water and wine. US debut.
