Afro-Brazilian Percussion Workshops with Bloco Gavião
The Robert E. Brown Center for World Music is pleased to offer Spring 2022 dates for our community samba group - Bloco Gavião -
The Spurlock Museum and Robert E. Brown Center for World Music are partnering to present Nyttu Chongo to campus and community audiences from January 29 through February 1. An African storyteller's musician, Nyttu Chongo (pronounced Nee-too SHO-ngo) believes that the past lives on, in, and through music. African music played on traditionally-designed instruments is an important continuation of ancient values, knowledge, and culture that must be shared.
The Robert E. Brown Center for World Music is pleased to collaborate with CU Folk and Roots Festival to present Nyttu Chongo, a St. Paul, MN - based, Mozambican musician who performs in the African storyteller tradition on percussion and strings. His training is based on the knowledge received from his grandfather, Mabihani Xhongo, and the Ancients, along with his studies at the Cross Roads Music School in Maputo, Mozambique.
