IRINEU IS BACK IN LONDON! CALLING IN ALL ABIEIÉ FAMILY & NEW FRIENDS! We keep celebrating Abieie’s 10 years anniversary.
ABIEIÉ PORTAL: African Brazilian Dance Masterclass w/ IRINEU NOGUEIRA @irineunogueira + traditional & newly created African rhythms held by DEMBIS THIOUNG @dembisthioung.
Irineu opened ABIEIÉ in Brazil 10 years ago, an energetic portal where participants connect with the spirit of African-Brazilian history & rich culture through movement, voice, sounds and rhythms. During his 8 year chapter in London, Irineu connected with Senegalese traditional percussionist artist Dembis Thioung offering weekly sessions at The Place & Siobhan Davies, growing & expanding the ABIEIÉ family until he moved to Munich in 2019. During this time-less capsule many movements were downloaded and incorporated, traditional African rhythms were played, new rhythms and connections were created and the family kept expanding and growing, always sharing the respect & love amongst all. Irineu is back and we invite you to join us on Sunday 1st December and “keep sharing the same love as usual, sharing much more live history together” (quote by Irineu Nogueira).
