13th – 16th April 2023

Ilú Batá is an intensive residential workshop for existing players to further their knowledge and skills in Cuban batá drumming under the guidance of three highly experienced tutors.

Daytime sessions will focus on learning new material. Evening sessions will be set aside for students to play through what they’ve learned during the day in a setting created to give participants a chance to engage in an informal environment that is closer to a Cuban tambor.

Batá
We’ll be working on a number of Bata toques with an in-depth study of the language for each drum. The study will include learning long sequences of songs that require linking several different toques together.

 

This all-inclusive event boasts a 20-acre conservation area with mature woods, a stream, pond, grassland and an open fire pit. We have camping and indoor accommodation with access and facilities for the disabled.

Instruments: If you have sets of batá and would like to bring them please let us know. If you’d like to borrow instruments from OVM for the workshop please ring us and reserve it well in advance.

Tutors: Ravin ‘Raz’ JayasuriyaDave Pattman and Vicky Jassey
