SUMMARY:Clave - Orphan Roots of American Culture: A Workshop on African Rhythm in Modern Music with Jean-Francis Varre
DESCRIPTION:https://www.educarteinc.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Clave%20-%20Jean-Francis%20Varre.mp4 \nThis interactive workshop is the first in a music and culture series tentatively titled “Black Atlantic.” The focus of the workshop is to shed light on the black African aesthetic of rhythmic structure commonly dubbed “syncopation” by Western musicologists but better explained by the Afro-Cuban concept of the “clave.” Participants will see how this African principle was incorporated into and influenced Western concepts of musical meter ranging from Brazil to the US\, how it remains at the core of nearly all modern music\, and how it can be applied in composition.    \nJean-Francis Varre will lead combination of short verbal histories of various “claves” accompanied by live demonstrations of the musical styles on guitar and vocals and in dance. Participants will learn to clap and maintain a specific clave as the music performed over it is varied\, by genre and era\, in order to deepen the understanding of its application.  \nRegister for the workshop \n \n\nAbout Jean-Francis Varre\nJean-Francis is a singer multi-instrumentalist who holds BA in Sociology with a focus on postcolonial studies. Jean-Francis Varre was born to Senegalese and Cape Verdean immigrants in Washington\, DC. He began singing at 13 years old\, at first in English\, and later in Spanish and the languages of his heritage: French\, Wolof\, and Portuguese. A self-taught singer\, songwriter\, and instrumentalist\, Jean-Francis has performed musical genres including American soul & rock\, Cuban salsa\, and Senegalese mbalax in multiple local and international projects such as DC rock groups Lucy Brown and Sitali\, Brazilian samba/axé celebrity Tonho Matéria\, British soul icon Omar\, Grammy-nominated hip hop fusion artist Christylez Bacon\, and Grammy-nominated salsa/timba ensemble Gonzalo Grau y la Clave Secreta.  \nJean-Francis currently leads the band Sahel which performs a fusion of his influences. In 2017 and 2018\, Sahel shared bills with international artists such as Les Nubians\, Habib Koite & Bamada\, Bombino\, and the Afro-Cuban All Stars. Sahel is presently in the process of recording its first original release. \nBetween 2016 and 2019\, Jean-Francis travelled to Havana\, Cuba and Bahia\, Brazil to advance his diaspora studies and build a foundation for sustained documentary work and collaborative musical projects. In 2018\, Jean-Francis won a DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities Sister Cities grant for an artist exchange between Washington\, DC and Dakar\, Senegal entitled “Black Gold\,” which included discussions\, collaborations\, and performances free to the public in both cities. The project took place in May and June 2019 and was also supported by the Smithsonian and Dance Place. At the 2020 DC Music Summit\, Jean-Francis led an interactive workshop shedding light on the black African aesthetic of rhythmic structure entitled “Clave – The Orphan Roots of American Culture.” These projects comprise the first chapters of a long term educational bridge building endeavor tentatively titled “Black Atlantic\,” which traces and recounts the movements of African peoples throughout the diaspora and their influence on modern world culture through the evolution of the music of the 19th and 20th centuries.

SUMMARY:Workshop: Rhythmic Innovations in the Pagode Samba Movement of Rio de Janeiro with Philip Galinsky
DESCRIPTION:The original meaning of the word pagode in the samba scene of Rio de Janeiro is a communal gathering of musicians to play\, sing\, and dance this most typical of Brazilian genres. Percussionist-ethnomusicologist\, Philip Galinsky\, Ph.D. (founder and director of Samba New York!) is the first scholar to have published an in-depth study in academia in English on the so-called pagode samba movement. This spontaneous initiative spawned a resurgence of these gatherings in Rio and throughout Brazil\, featuring a recovery of certain “roots” elements and several important innovations in the music in the 1970s and 1980s\, leading to a renewed space in the media for the samba. \nIn this online workshop\, based on his master’s research on the pagode in the 1990s and more than 25 years of experience teaching samba percussion\, Dr. Galinsky will trace the early history of this movement. He will also highlight some of the new instruments created and introduced into the samba by members of Grupo Fundo de Quintal (The Backyard Group)\, the pioneering band of the movement and one of the most influential ensembles in the history of the genre. \nRSVP on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/771276363806309 \nRegister for free

The conversation will be moderated by Pablo Regis. \nRSVP on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/761203344674086/ \nAbout the artists:\nKenia\nHailing from Rio de Janeiro\, vocalist Kenia has become one of the foremost exponents of Brazilian song in the United States. From her debut on the great trumpet player Claudio Roditi’s\, “Red on Red\,” to her upcoming 2020 Mooka Records release\, she has epitomized the breezy elegance\, refinement and groove of the best of modern Brazilian music. In 2008\, Kenia won the Brazilian Press Award for Best CD of the Year\, and was nominated for a Grammy for her release\, “Simply Kenia.” Along with eight critically acclaimed solo releases (and counting)\, Kenia has performed at national and international festivals from the Pittsburgh International Jazz Festival to the Bonaire Heineken Jazz Festival in the ABC Islands.  \nAlison Crockett\nOn seminal recordings by King Britt\, Blue Six\, Us3\, and a host of others\, Alison Crockett’s voice has provided a velvety\, sensual finishing touch for cutting edge beats. Her voice dripping soul with generous helpings of jazz\, gospel and blues\, she has taken the baton from divas of the present and past such as Rachelle Farrelle\, Erykah Badu\, Jill Scott\, Donna Summer\, Elis Regina\, and Sarah Vaughn and forged a uniquely personal and singular musical vision. Alison’s latest project\, released in November 2018\, focuses on a new love: Brazilian music. After visiting the country she decided to mix her musical loves to create the project\, “Obrigada.” Recorded in the city of São Paulo in the summer of 2017 with Brazilian jazz musicians Felipe Silviera\, Thiago Alves\, and Palinho Vicente\, Alison has weaved a refreshing sound love of jazz\, bossa nova\, and soul that continues to highlight her fearlessness as a musical traveler boldly projecting her inimitable voice into the sonic future.

The program will be moderated by Bryan McCann\, Ph.D. of Georgetown University. We invite you to join us and ask questions with this distinguished panel.  \nThis is the first in a series of conversations and multidisciplinary productions\, and the beginning of an artistic collaboration between these artist/scholars. \nJoin us on Facebook or YouTube on Friday\, September 4 at 8PM US/Eastern to join the conversation live. \nRSVP on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/308480846887212 \nAbout the guests:\nRob Curto\nRob Curto is an accordionist\, pianist\, and composer based in Philadelphia\, and is the bandleader of Fish Harmonics\, influenced by decades of music-making around the world. Steeped in American jazz piano standards\, Rob discovered the accordion as an adult\, and his curiosity led him to Brazil on a Fulbright project–where he ended up living on-and-off for several years in the Northeast\, learning and absorbing the music traditions\, and especially the piano accordion. Rob was part of establishing the Forro “scene” in the US with Rob Curto’s Forro For All\, and toured the world with his “Brazilian Bluegrass” band\, Matuto. Curto has developed an interest in Irish button box\, adding B/C button accordion to his repertoire. He studies with NEA National Heritage Fellow and multi-All Ireland Champion\, Billy McComisky\, and occasionally with John Whelan and PJ Hernon. Curto is profoundly interested in the (relatively) recent history of accordion in traditional Irish music. \nPaddy League\nPanayotis (Paddy) League grew up around traditional Irish and Greek music and dance\, and by his teenage years was performing professionally throughout both diasporas on a number of string and percussion instruments. For the last decade he has devoted much of his time and energy to studying the button accordion music of Northeast Brazil\, particularly the style developed by the Calixto family of Campina Grande\, Paraíba. He is currently Assistant Professor of Ethnomusicology at Florida State University and Director of the Center for Music of the Americas. He has published widely on the music\, dance\, and oral poetry traditions of the Aegean Greek islands\, and is working on several print and multimedia projects in collaboration with Paraiban button accordionist Luizinho Calixto. \nKate Spanos\nKate Spanos\, Ph.D.\, is a dancer\, educator\, scholar\, and arts administrator whose work focuses on “dances of resistance” and social change through dance. She is an Irish dancer from Washington\, DC and she completed an MA in traditional Irish dance performance at the University of Limerick in 2008. Her doctoral dissertation (University of Maryland) focused on the festivals and masquerade dances of Montserrat\, the “Other Emerald Isle” of the Caribbean. She also practices various Brazilian movement forms including capoeira\, frevo\, and samba. In 2018\, she was a postdoctoral Fulbright scholar in Recife\, Brazil\, where she studied popular dance of Pernambuco\, including frevo\, cavalo marinho\, and maracatu rural. www.thekatespanos.com \nBryan McCann\nBryan McCann\, Ph.D.\, is the department chair and a professor of Brazilian history in the History Department at Georgetown University. He is the author of the books Hello\, Hello Brazil: Popular Music in the Making of Modern Brazil (Duke\, 2004) and João Gilberto and Stan Getz’s Getz/Gilberto (Bloomsbury\, 2018)\, as well as numerous articles on Brazilian popular music.

DESCRIPTION:This online workshop is the third in a series of ethnographic research workshops organized in partnership with Fulbridge\, the Fulbrighter Network\, and EducArte. The workshops are for Fulbright alumni\, current Fulbrighters\, and prospective Fulbrighters\, or for anyone interested in ethnographic research. We welcome people from all fields and disciplines to share their experiences and expertise. \nThis workshop (on Zoom) will be an open forum discussion about ethnographic interviewing. Some of the questions we will discuss are: \n\nWhat are the differences between formal interviews and informal conversations?\nWhat are best practices when working with translators and transcribers?\nWhat are discipline-specific suggestions for reading and re-reading transcriptions\, note-taking\, and qualitative research coding?\nHow do we deal with issues of consent/confidentiality when using quotes from interviews or informal conversations?\n\nTo register\, visit tiny.cc/FulbridgeEthnography3. More information about the workshops and video recordings of previous workshops can be found here.
