WORKSHOP FOR ADVANCED SAMBA PERCUSSIONISTS

If you love a good rhythm, and all the vibe that comes with playing in a group, samba is the right thing for you!

We have this pleasure to inform you that, as in the previous Dani Brazila festival editions, workshops for samba percussions will definitely happen and will do so in the good old way. That means three days (from 23th to 25th of August) of classes guided by two respected and brilliant mestres – Mestre Chuvisco from Rio (who won the right to perform with his group Estacio de Sá in the next year's Special Group parade in Rio Carnival) and Mestra Clarissa from Vienna.

On Sunday, there is a carnival parade throughout the city of Novi Sad's streets that will involve all the percussion workshop participants who will be accompanied by participants of capoeira workshop as well as the samba dancers.

Workshops will take place at the beautiful open air venue on the Petrovaradin fortress and will focus on preparing participants for the carnival performance teaching them various rhythms and techniques of playing.

Online application for the Advanced Samba Percussion workshop is closed, if you wish to participate you can still apply at the venue.

Mestre Chuvisco

I started in Estácio de Sá (Samba school - RJ) with 9 years of age in the children's block, around 15 years of age I was trying a vacancy in the Estácio de Sa Battery until I got it in 1993, when I had my first parade as Ritmista. The following year I was already travelling, recordings everything that had reference to Bateria, was already in the first team of the battery commanded by MASTER CIÇA, where I started to parade in other schools like São Clemente, Salgueiro, Beija flor, Unidos Da Tijuca, Rio Grande, Viradouro, etc ...

After 15 years as a rhythmic I was called to be assistant drum director, a function that I stayed for 4 years, after I received the invitation to be MASTER OF BATTERY OF ESTACIO DE SA after the carnival of 2008. In 2009 I started as a drum master and received several awards. I stayed for 9 years and I was hired to Vila Isabel in 2018. I stayed 1 year and I went back to the Samba Cradle in 2019, where I got all the highest notes was declared champion (2019) and won several prizes again ...

I have performed in Argentina, Paraguay, Panama, Sweden, Finland, Germany, Switzerland, France, England, Norway, Portugal and Holland.
