Rhythm Playshop with David Alderdice & Arlyn Alderdice in Paonia, CO
2021-09-26 14:00 - 15:00 | Paonia Town Park, United States
During this fun and engaging rhythm experience, we will focus on embodying rhythms through rhythmic vocalizations, hand gestures and stepping cycles. We will be using the traditional South Indian rhythm practice of Solkattu to deepen our relationship with rhythm, music and life. Through this practice we will delve deeper into the awareness of feeling rhythm as a full body experience. This fun phrase-centered approach aids musicians of all kinds to get the visceral sensations of many different rhythmic applications from the naturally occurring universal concepts and musical uses of internalizing pulse, subdivisions, syncopation, cross-rhythms, and poly-rhythms.

2022-02-04 19:00 - 21:00 | Paradise Theater, United States
www.newpolimusic.com
tickets
With exciting interpretations of traditional and originals that draw deeply from one of the world’s lesser known music traditions, Newpoli is Italy’s next inspiring interpreter of southern Italy’s taranta tradition.
The group stirs up a mesmerizing sound that melds traditional Italian folk music, Greek and Turkish Grooves, Mediterranean and Spanish colors, and a contemporary sensibility they call “Mediterranean Pulse – Ritmi della Terra.”
The group is fronted by singers Carmen Marsico and Angela Rossi, a pair that PopMatters called “…, visual and musical cynosures with their contrasting looks and twining vocal lines.”
In concert you’ll hear the tamburello, played by virtuoso Fabio Pirozzolo, pounding out the heartbeat of Newpoli’s music, the two female singers will start up a wild, frenetic dance and you’ll have a very hard time sitting still! The tempo is high, and the drama and passion can be heard in every note!
Friday, Feb 4, 2022 7:00 – Paradise Theatre
Tickets $20.00 in advance/ $25.00 at the door/ $17 student (18 and under). Available at the Paradise and online.
