Dudu Tucci is well known to most players of Samba music throughout the UK as an inspirational teacher and top professional musician. His work in the UK in the 1990s and early part of this century still resonate in the Samba scene today. He will have taught many leaders of UK and Irish Samba bands today. He is aided by his long standing colleague, ex pupil  and Samba professional Simeon Smith         of the maSamba Samba School in Dublin.

This 2 day intensive percussion course is aimed at intermediate to advanced players and will focus on the key elements of Afro Brasilian percussion music. Participants should be confident on at least two standard bateria instruments: Surdo, caixa, repinique, chocalho, agogo, tamborim and timba.

The grooves covered will be samba, samba-reggae, 6/8 and more modern funky rhythms. In each case, he will draw on the authentic traditions of Brasil, but also add modern original ideas, from Dudu’s enormous repertoire.
