12th Annual CubaCaribe Festival: Lecture - Haitian traditional drumming and its connection to Cuba by Daniel "Brav" Brevil
CubaCaribe presents: The 12th Annual CubaCaribe Festival of Dance and Music
April 14 - April 30, 2016 Cuba On My Mind
The acclaimed annual folkloric and contemporary dance and music Festival will feature three exuberant weeks of Caribbean dance and music performances, master classes, film screenings, lectures and celebrations throughout the Bay Area.
Haitian traditional drumming shares many organizing principles with other African- based forms of music. Daniel will choose examples from the repertoire that illustrate how melody can carry information: to organize a line that the lead drummer can develop, to call changes in the dance, to ask for a particular step, or as language that mimics speech or the lyrics of the kreyol song. Melody can come from one drum, but can also be spread among as many as 4 players. Hearing how Daniel organizes the music will help you understand similarities between Cuban Haitian traditional drumming of music you may familiar with.)
