kc Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Check these cats out!! MARACATU NUNCA ANTES Saturday, March 11th. @ The Pepper Jack Cafe 38 King William St. Hamilton www.pepperjackcafe.com 10pm, $8,, $5 before 10pm. Funky Vinyl Selections by Paajo(aka Kojo) www.nuncaantes.com Nunca Antes is a high-energy percussion troupe that brings deep rhythm and raw performance to Toronto's streets. Comprised of about 20 dynamic percussionists, the group plays Afro-Brazilian rhythms in a traditional style inherited from the maracatu nations of Recife Brazil. We are a walking sound system with a heavy emphasis on the bass drums, the alfaias. In command of the drums is the vibrant Aline Morales. We play and entertain in any venue and we hold weekly workshops for beginners and people already familiar with percussion and Brazilian rhythms. In the short time since our inception, Nunca Antes has changed the percussive landscape in Toronto, influencing other bands and introducing a new style to the city. The "baque" is the percussion of a maracatu. You've never before seen beats like these! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazlo Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Be sure to show up early for sound check and you might be able to catch the Nazi Rhythm Mother berating her band for not keeping up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
