How I made my profile:
I used Dave & Jay's amazing profile editor .Maracatu Estrela do Norte was formed in 2002 by Sam Alexander.We are a drumming group based in London that Brazilian plays folkloric music from the Pernambuco in the North East of Brazil; Maracatu from Recife and Olinda in particular. We give fun and informative workshops in various Brazilian rhythms, although we specialise in Maracatu de Baque Virado. We take part in The Notting Hill Carnival among other events throughout the year. We play authentic Brazilian instruments, you can come and learn the Gonguê (the Maracatu bell), the Abê (a Maracatu shaker), the Caixa (the Maracatu snare drum) or the Alfaia/ Bombo (the Maracatu bass drum).We are the first Maracatu group in the U.K.
