What is coming up

Indian Classical Music with Savni runs on August 26 at 3:00 PM Eastern - 90 minutes with Mumbai vocalist Savni Parekar, all levels, free to join, with a recording included. It is the next live. Konnakol Live: Speaking Indian Rhythm with Shrey Bhardwaj follows on September 11 on the same terms.

In the works

Three more lives are confirmed and being scheduled. Dates are announced on this page and by email as soon as they are set.

• Brazilian Samba Groove Workshop - Arthur Scarpini is running his samba, choro and groove workshop again
• Highlife & Afrobeat - Nigerian and Ghanaian highlife into afrobeat with bassist Kelvin Uche
• Choro Workshop with Mariana Bruekers - Brazil's first urban music, the roda and the conversation between the instruments

A course on the way

Makossa Bass, a course with Abuja bassist Kelvin Uche, is in production - the thumb, the walk and the pocket that drives Cameroonian dance music. It is a course rather than a live, so there is nothing to turn up to; it goes on sale when it is finished.

How the lives work

Each one is a live online session with a master teacher rather than a recording: you can ask questions and be heard. Sessions are recorded, so a ticket is still worth having if the time does not suit you.

Frequently asked questions

What live sessions are coming up?

Indian Classical Music with Savni on August 26 is the next one, and konnakol with Shrey Bhardwaj follows on September 11. Both are free to join and both are recorded. A repeat of Arthur Scarpini's Brazilian samba workshop, a highlife and afrobeat live with Kelvin Uche, and a choro workshop with Mariana Bruekers are all confirmed and being scheduled. Makossa Bass, a course with Kelvin Uche, is also on the way.

When is the samba workshop happening again?

The date is not set yet. Arthur Scarpini's Brazilian Samba Groove Workshop ran in August and is being scheduled again - the new date will be announced here.

Are the sessions recorded?

Yes. A recording is included, so you can take a session afterwards if the live time does not work for you.
