A COMMUNITY Latin music workshop will be held at the Dungog Anglican Hall on Saturday, 22 June, featuring ARIA-nominated performers ALLY.
Arts Upper Hunter describes the workshop as a “funky fun and rhythmic workshop that’s not just for musicians but anyone who wants to learn some great Latin beats”.
ALLY are passionate exponents of South American and Caribbean music styles, and present rhythms and instrumental roles in a friendly, accessible way to encourage attendees to broaden their listening and to provide some cultural context.
“Via a mix of traditional and modern instrumentation, and a mix of rhythmic patterns you’ll play through a few simple compositions that allow everyone to participate,” Arts Upper Hunter said in a statement.
“Once you’re getting familiar with the patterns, everyone builds from there.
“Bring your own percussion instruments – or use your body percussion, everything is possible!”
Some instruments will be provided.
The workshop has been organised by the Performing Artists of Dungog and Arts Upper Hunter, with the support of Create NSW.
Tickets are free for anyone under 25 years, or $10 for ages 25-plus.
The workshop will run from 2-3:45 pm on 22 June at the Anglican Hall, 51 Dowling St, Dungog.
