Latin Music and Dance with Ally

Funky fun and rhythmic workshop that's not just for musicians but anyone who wants to learn some great latin beats. ARIA-nominated Ally have a passion for sharing what they know of South American and Caribbean music styles, and to present the rhythms and instrumental roles in a friendly, accessible and fun way to encourage the 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. 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. Brought to you by Performing Artists of Dungog and Arts Upper Hunter. Ally Tour is happening with the support of Create NSW.
