  • Day 2 - Saturday

    May 18th

  • 16:00  - 18:00
    Brazilian popular choral music workshop, led by Federico Trindade. Using original arrangements, which will be worked on from the point of view of their possibilities of sonority, interpretation, harmonic, melodic and rhythmic understanding, the following aspects will also be worked on: body percussion applied to the choir, body awarness as a basis for musical development, icebreakers and vocal improvisation with "Brazilian accent" through VOPA (Vocal Painting). The workshop will make it possible to explore individual and group understanding of the different possibilities when making MPB (Popular Brazilian Music) in a group. To assist in this process, we will count on the participation of the “Grupo UPA!”, as support singers and example of the sound of the Brazilian popular choir, as well as to create an atmosphere of greater confidence and ease for the experience. The cultural exchange will favor the understanding of different accents and grooves that MPB requires and allows. The rhythms worked on, through exercises and arrangements, will be "baião" (a northeastern Brazilian rhythm, with influences from "moda de viola", Brazilian country music, samba, conga and indigenous dances from Brazil), "ijexá" (a rhythm ritualistic of African origin, brought by the Yoruba people, linked to the cultural manifestation of Afoxé; this rhythm was incorporated into Brazilian popular music and several artists, throughout Brazil, use it in their compositions or arrangements), in addition to a representative piece of the Brazilian popular music songbook itself. The proposal is that, in addition to a small dip in Brazilian culture, the workshop can provide different experiences and rhythmic, harmonic and melodic tools for the participating singers.
