The most complex instrument is the human body. From singing to clapping or stomping from snapping the fingers to beating on the chest, legs and arms, we can create an incredible diversity of sounds, melodies and rhythms.

The percussionist Gilson de Assis and the singer Lilian Zamorano show how to do this in the workshop.

Apart of a big repertoire in brazilian popular and modern music, the musicians work with rhythms and melodies from the pop and jazz music. The goal is, no matter if beginner or professional, to discover the fascinating world of the voice combined with the rhythms and sounds of our body.

Kanoê presents new sources of inspiration, interesting styles and unconventional crossover music. With keyboard, voice and percussion the trio introduces compositions from modern and traditional melodies to instrumental songs and rhythms from Italy, Brazil, Balkan and Orient.

The brazilian singer and pianist Lygia Campos with her unique voice creates a very special atmosphere on stage. The percussionists Gilson de Assis (Brazil) and Andrea Piccioni (Italy) form a rhythm section of great diversity - from oriental, african and brazilian grooves to bodypercussion and pop grooves.

Kanoê - sophisticated and stirring music that touches the soul.

Neue CD

The music of this worldwide unique combination has its common root in the frame drum, an essential ingredience of the Italian, Brazilian and Turkish musical tradition.

One feels the overwhelming joy of playing and almost unlimited pleasure of discovery when these musicians beat the drum, dance and sing, together creating a completely new musical synthesis: As if it were most natural, Italian songs, Roma dances of the Balkans and oriental trance rhythms merge easily into funky hip-hop grooves and the tarantella is danced to Brazilian samba tunes.

All three percussionists convince by their sound knowledge of own musical traditions as well as by their virtuoso instruments' mastery. Tamburo Mundi presents its new program with much humour, charm and spontaneity. It is impossible to resist the magic of the drums.

The three musicians present the traditional Choro music as well as exciting own compositions in a mixture of classical music, jazz and Brazilian rhythms. Works of Tom Jobim, Paulinha da Viola, Guinga, etc.
