We extended International Women’s
Day into a Week by filling the Resonance FM studio with inspirational
women yet again! Tuca Milan, Bea Shantifa, Marta Riccardi, and Alba
Cabral brought their fabulous, ferocious, feel-good vibes onto this
AWIL in the form of LET DRUM BEAT! The band members have all just
returned from restorative trips to their countries of origin -
Brazil, Italy, and Benin - refreshed and infused with new musical
vigour. Their connection to home abroad and home in London is
processed magnificently through their compositions, encompassing
Afro-Brazilian percussion and dynamic rhythms, counterpointed with
soft vocal harmonies. Their songs are sung in Portuguese, as well as
the ‘lost’ language Tupi-Guarani, reviving the culture of
indigenous tribes almost wiped out by years of colonization in
Brazil. Let Drum Beat’s arsenal of amazing instruments tantalises
another voyage of discovery through the arched bow of berimbau,
kalimba thumb-piano, and an array of beads & goats nails(!)
sounding like water-drops. With their
mastery, or miss-tery, of these instruments, unique global vision,
and Amazonian energy, Let Drum Beat collect & connect the world’s
continents in the most colourful kaleidoscope of music!
LET the rhythm pulse through your body. Take
a DRUM of your choice. Create the BEAT and play to the world.
