Curawaka

About this event
What is medicine music? How does sound become medicine? How can we grow into being medicine musicians, to share music that carries healing?
Anna Bariyani, Tavo Vazquez, Alberto Arroyo and Dario Santamaria Romero are the members of one of the world’s leading Medicine Music bands - Curawaka. Each of them have a long journey as musicians behind them, each one with their own story, instrument, technique and musical specialty. With the Medicine Music Workshop, each member of Curawaka offer their insights into the essence of the medicine of sound, and sharing techniques on how to cultivate that healing frequency when playing music.

The workshop includes guided breathing exercises, lessons on rhythm and melody, theoretical discourse and discussions, always making sure participants get an understanding of the cultural context and the importance of connection to places and traditions. Through different exercises, we practice authenticity, spontaneity and the importance of play. Ending the workshop with a jam session and/or a singing circle, sharing the joy and connection so vital to Medicine Music.

The Medicine Music Workshop is for anyone, beginners and masters of music, no experience needed. If you play an instrument, feel free to bring it for the jam sessions.
