Posted on March 8, 2015March 8, 2015 by Cantora

This year..

We Honour Yemanja at Ventana Fiesta FRANKSTON – SAT March 14th

Once again, in a Beachside Ceremony & Offering at Frankston Beach followed by the Ventana Latin Festival Street Parade.

In Brazil, Yemanja is celebrated each year on February 2nd.

Ventana Latin Festival is in it’s 9th Year and Mestre Val has been very dedicated to continuing to grow it, supporting the Organisers and presenting Capoeira & Brazilian Culture and stories for the City of Frankston & the visiting community.

Nowhere else in Australia, does the Afro-Brazilian culture of Honouring the Orisha exist in a Festival Program.

So in 2015, we are HAPPY to include it in the 21st CFdB International Encounter Program! LEARN THIS SONG & come and CHANT & SING WITH US in a Beach Ceremony in Frankston :) CALLING ALL COMMUNITY – Women & Girls, Mothers, Daughters, Sisters – Brothers & Family – where a white dress & blue beads or White Capoeira clothes and feel free to JOIN US!

Afro-Brazilian rhythms with Mestre Val – Ogum toque

Posted on March 7, 2015March 7, 2015 by Cantora

Here is a lesson Mestre Val had with Instrutor Gargamel – Stephen Clendinnen – learning Ogum toque.

Sometimes Mestre Val will focus on a specific instrument and teach Afro-Brazilian drumming or Rhythms from Samba from Bahia. In this video here, Inst. Gargamel (Stephen) is learning the toque for RUM.

The 3 Atabaque drums from Candomble are Rum, Pi, Le.

There really is no limit to what there is to learn with Capoeira & Afro-Brazilian cultural artforms. Learning alongside Advanced students like Stephen is a real joy :)

The Yemanja Ceremony at Ventana Festival is an extension of Mestre Val’s commitment to being a strong advocate in the community of Afro-Brazilian culture and bringing authentic Afro-Brazilian artforms to Australia.

PLEASE JOIN US – SAT 14th in FRANKSTON on the FRANKSTON FORESHORE!
