On Wednesday, November 19, during International Education Week, the
program of Latin American Studies hosted two events with Minas Music
in the Baker University Center Theater:A samba-drumming workshop and a
concert of Brazilian music.Formed by musicians Orlando Haddad and Patricia King, Minas Music has
been performing and recording all over the US and Brazil for over two
decades. Their music takes Brazilian and American roots to create a
sound that is fresh and innovative. From ballads tinged with melancholic
traits of blues and choro, to folk songs heavily infused with the cool
rhythmic pulse of Bossa Nova, to upbeat sambas enriched with
instrumental jazz improvisation, the music of Minas Music is engaging
and timeless. OU students participated in the drumming event with great
enthusiasm then enjoyed a wonderful concert.For more information, click here!
