CÍRCULO – Decolonial resistance, priestessing, chanting and women’s drumming
Tulipa’s Society Amsterdam and Teatro Munganga open their doors for a series of traditional singing and drumming workshops, enriched by events of sharing knowledge on Brazilian Candomblé and the tradition of priestesses.
Workshop Traditional Drumming and Chanting
Date: 01 and 03 July) - 19h - 21h.
We will practice Caixa do Divino* which is the only drumming tradition exclusively led by women in Brazil and exists in the context of Candomblé Houses and Maroon Communities as part of the celebrations of the Orixá Oxalá, an ancient force of nature. The priestesses, Caixeiras, sing and praise the prophecy that The Earth will know one hundred years of peace, under the rule of children. In the last week we will also practice Jongo, a chanting and drumming form demanding freedom for people under enslavement.
The workshop will be given by Mameto Kaloyá, a non-binary queer Roma diasporic descendent born within the context of Candomblé (Maroon communities and houses) who holds the title of Egbomi (poorly translated as young priestess) in the traditional community and Candomblé House of Redandá (Cipó-Guaçu- Brazil).
