Afon Sistema, and Bristol at large, are once again blessed with the privilege of hosting a key member of the Afro-Brazilian cultural and musical tradition of Maracatu de Baque Virado - Karen Aguiar.
Karen is the current regent, caretaker and master of Maracatu Nação Leão Coroado, the longest perpetually running Maracatu nation in the world. She is fiercely talented, and is 1 of only 2 female leaders in the sphere of Maracatu Nação.
We have the fortune of being a stop on her European tour this year, and it's her first time ever in Bristol! We're very excited to welcome her, and to bring you a 3 hour masterclass percussion and song workshop in the unique style of her Maracatu nation, Leão Coroado.
Some musical experience is preferred, but not absolutely essential.
It's going to be an awesome afternoon - can't wait to see you there!
