Jorge Martins is a master drummer from Recife, Brazil. He's a specialist in maracatu, a processional style of music and dance from the state of Pernambuco in the northeast of Brazil that's got deep roots and infectious, joyous rhythms. Jorge has played for many years with Maracatu Nacão Estrela Brilhante do Recife, one of the oldest and most respected maracatu groups in all of Pernambuco. He is also the founder and director of Corpos Percussivos, a group that works to empower underprivileged Brazilian youth through maracatu. Jorge is one of those rare treasures who is both a great performer and teacher.

We are very excited to be hosting Jorge in the Bay Area for this special workshop. Don't miss this incredible opportunity to learn maracatu from one of the best.

No experience is necessary, and instruments will be provided.
