California Brazil Camp 06 -- space still available
The experience of California Brazil Camp is hard to overestimate -- simply put it will be a "peak experience" for anyone who likes Brazilian music or dance. Week 2 (Session Two: August 28- September 3) still has a few spots available and I highly recommend it because of two "firsts" --
1. Marcos Suzano, the guy who more or less invented modern pandeiro technique, will be teaching there for the first time.
2. Returning instructor Jovino Santo Neto has a new project this year, putting together a gafiera big band ensemble and putting on a dance show at the end of camp.
Another treat will be mandolinist Mike Marshall teaching the bandolim class.
