KoSA Cuba One-Week Study Program and the Havana Drum Festival
Montreal, September 8th, 2016 – KoSA is returning to the culturally important destination of Havana, Cuba for the 15th annual
edition of KoSA Cuba; a week long Study Program within the Havana
Fiesta Del Tambor. This year’s trip will take place on March 5 – 12, 2017.
KoSA
Cuba is an experience like no other. In a thrilling one-week program,
intrepid music explorers will experience intensely fulfilling days of
hands-on classes, workshops, concerts, lectures, cultural visits and the
exciting activities of the Havana’s Fiesta Del Tambor ( Havana Rhythm
and Dance festival ). Conga, bongo, timbales, bata, drumset and other
instruments will be studied as participants are immersed in Cuban
rhythms, music and culture. All instruments are provided, and and
participants will be studying, working and playing with Cuba’s top
international artists.
The
capital city of Havana is scenic, historical and renowned for the
richness of its Cuban Culture, folklore and music. An incredible variety
and depth of knowledge has been passed through the generations,
maintaining centuries old African-based traditions. Havana is also the
cultural Mecca of the Caribbean and a hotbed of new and contemporary
creative music. All of this—and more—will be featured during The Fiesta
del Tambor, a growing national percussion competition with associated
clinics and concerts. The KoSA Cuba experience includes active
participation in all these activities, and participants will learn and
play along side their Cuban contemporaries. Each evening will feature
electrifying concerts in Havana’s classic theatres and featuring Cuba’s
top artists in music and dance.
This
year, KoSA Cuba’s faculty will include Cuba’s most recognized artists,
including Giraldo Piloto and his band Klimax, Julio Lopez Sanchez, Jean
Roberto San Cristobal, Panga, Enrique Pla, Yaroldy Abreu, Adel Gonzalez
and special guests. Seminars in the history and development of Cuban
music will be led by respected ethnomusicologist Dr. Olavo Rodriguez
.The entire workshop experience will be facilitated by international
recognized artist, Aldo Mazza.
