// ATTRACTIONS
Symbiosis of various instruments of music and pressure: an Afro-Brazilian Press Orchestra! Rhythmic and technical fundamentals of different instruments (conga, igloo, clave, AGB, etc.).
The repertoire goes from Samba, Maracatu and Coco to the religious rhythms of Candomblé, often accompanied by singing.
The Afojubá Batuque percussion group, which has existed since 2014, reflects the cultural diversity of Berlin through the different nationalities of its members. This diversity is also evident on a musical level; João Alencar do Rego, regent of the group, mixes the traditional rhythms of the Brazilian Northeast with modern rhythms and combine them with different musical influences of the member countries. This creates a dynamic repertoire of music, dance and music.
Sambada de Coco is a musical group of Brazilians who currently live in Berlin created by percussionist João Alencar. Joao from Olinda (Pernambuco) has been living in the German capital since 2012 and this year he started this project with the idea of inviting percussionist friends to play the various songs of Coco (traditional music of the Afro-Indian culture).
