Welcome to the ẸDÙN ARÁ - bloco de carnaval website
ẸDÙN ARÁ - bloco de carnaval is a percussion, song & dance performance based project that reflects the African heritage found in Brazilian & Cuban culture. Together with One Voice Music we run workshops that culminate in a costumed parade and/or stage performance.
The project began in 2005 as one of the many workshops organised by OVM. Since then it has grown so much in popularity that it has warranted its own website!
Participants on the project range from individuals who have an interest in drumming or dance through to groups of people from a community Samba group.
So come and take part, contribute to the special energy the project creates, make new friends and have lots of fun! Click the 'What's On' tab on the menu bar for details on forthcoming workshops and performances that you can take part in.
By clicking on each of the menu items you'll find lots of information on this project including; how it began and how far it has developed, our current repertoire, workshops, rehearsals, performances and our future plans.
