Marimbea Experience: practical workshop in Afro-Colombian music

Humanities Bridgeford Street, University of Manchester

Marimbea Experience: In this workshop you will learn about the traditions of the Afro-Colombian Pacific Coast communities. The practical lesson will be guided by one of the most representative young Afro-Colombian musicians of Colombia,  Juan Carlos Mindinero, or Cankita as they call him in his native town Tumaco. We will start with a brief introduction of the geographical and cultural origin of this music and a demonstration of some of its rhythms, which includes Bunde, Bambuco, and Juga amongst others. Then we will have the opportunity to play the instruments used in the villages of the rural Pacific Coast of Colombia. These traditional instruments include the Marimba de Chonta, the Cununos and Bombos, the Guasá and the Voices. We will show you how the sounds of each instrument create a polyrhythmic texture when played together. No musical experience is required as we will explore these rhythms in a fun and accessible collective dynamic.L﻿ocation: GCVA screening room.
