Brazilian percussionist Jorge Alabê brings the rich musical
culture of Brazil to the U.S. as a performing artist and master
teacher. His deep history and skill developed as he grew
up playing Afro-Brazilian and samba rhythms in Rio de Janeiro,
and took him around the world as director of percussion with
the legendary performing company Oba Oba. He is an “Alabê”
connected with the oldest candomblé house established in
Brazil, Casa Branca; the title of “Alabê” means that he has
obtained the highest level in drumming and leading of rituals
in the candomblé religion and signifies deep experience and
authority.
