NEW SAMBA – RIO DE JANEIRO
02/04/2009SAMBA NA FONTE
The place could not be more symbolic to the Brazilian Music: a place named Salt Stone, where the composers like Donga, João da Bahiana, Sinhô and others used to gather in a bar to sing the first sambas, at the begin of the 20th century. So just at this place, in August 2007, some composers have joined to create a space where they could meet, discuss and share views, and most important: to sing their new compositions. The meeting’s name is Samba at Source (Samba na Fonte).
New contacts were born in these meetings as new partnerships and projects, always keeping the focus on cultural resistance and awareness on ethics, respect and responsibility that each one has with the legacy of the great masters and the ways by which they must lead the flag of the samba.
This is the way we found to do our part.
The space is open to composers who want to join the movement., every Wednesday from 19h to 23h00 at Largo João da Baiana, Pedra do Sal, Mauá Square – Rio de Janeiro – Brazil
[...] A sonorização que atende apenas aos instrumentos impõe ao público a aproximação da roda, para ouvir as músicas e dançá-las, criando o clima necessário para esse tipo de encontro. A roda acontece todas as 2as. Feiras, a partir das 19:00 no Largo João da Baiana, aos pés da pedra do Sal. Às 4as. no mesmo horário ocorre a Roda de Samba na Fonte, dedicada a sambas inéditos, como já publiquei aqui e em inglês. [...]
