The Negro Gato Ensemble is performing at the Lake Placid Center for the Arts on Saturday, and we were able to have them at school yesterday to do a variety of drumming workshops with our students.
Enclosed is a passage from their website (address below): “The Nego Gato Afro-Brazilian Music and Dance Ensemble bring to their audiences the rich African influenced rhythms and dances originating in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, a region known for custom deeply rooted in the traditions and spirituality of ancestral Africa. The ensemble is directed by Jose Sena, known professionally as Nego Gato, to share his experience of growing up on the streets of Salvador immersed in the magical sounds of the Street Musicians, Carnaval, and Camdomble ceremonies.”
