Event Details

Join us for a lecture, demonstration and performance of the Songs of the Orixa and the Brazilian Candomble tradition. World-class Brazilian percussionist Jorge Alabê brings the rich musical culture of Brazil to MoAD. His deep history and skill developed as he grew up playing Afro-Brazilian and samba rhythms in Rio de Janeiro, and took him around the work as dirctor of percussion with the legendary performing company Oba Oba. Jorge is an acknowledged percussion master, and a popular and dedicated performer and teacher now based in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Sacred Music, Sunday Fellowship is supported by a generous grant from The James Irvine Foundation.
