A message from our mentor, Ami Molinelli

I'm looking forward to working with you and sharing my personal love of the syncopated rhythms of Brazilian samba!
We will talk about basic Brazilian grooves,  Northeastern rhythms, Samba, Bossa Nova, choro and also do some listening! I will be bringing percussion instruments like shakers, scrapers, tamborims and more.
