London get ready!! Diene 'Waaw Waaw' Sagna is coming back to the UK, fresh and energised from his homeland of Senegal and ready to put a spring back into our step with some incredible Sabar & Djembe dance training and choreographies.

Yaye Dib Sabar brings to you ~ Just Dance!!
This will be a time to focus on your movement, style and technique, relating this to the Djembe and Sabar rhythms.
There will be live drumming throughout!
...
Open to all levels, Diene will enable each student to develop their own potential; whether this be introducing these beautiful West African dances and culture to you or developing your understanding, studying and gaining a deeper appreciation for the style and feel of the movements, enabling your body to communicate with the drums with confidence, ease and skill.

In both the Sabar and Djembe dance workshops, Diene will allow some time to focus on the often challenging moment of 'soloing'; dancing in the drum circle enabling your body to express the rhythms with passion and joy. You will not be forced to dance solo (!!) however this is VERY important training for any student interested in African dance and therefore these workshops will give dance students the opportunity to concentrate on this element.


FYI ~

We will be running these workshops at SPACe on Falkirk Street, Hackney.
Great dance studio with wooden floor and mirrors as well as nice changing room facilities with showers and lockers.

Omar Puente
at Pizza Express Jazz Club Soho

Monday 14th March
Show Time 8:30pm / Doors Open 7:00pm

Violinist, Composer, Arranger, Producer, Educator Omar Puente is a classical violinist with a heart that beats with a Cuban rhythm, a soul that is African, and a home in West Yorkshire. His career has been as varied as his life. He began learning violin at five, and at the age of thirteen, he travelled alone to Havana to take up a scholarship.

The next few years were spent studying classical violin and learning all he could about Cuban music and jazz. After graduating, Omar played in Cuban bands such as Orquesta Enrique Jorrin (with Ruben Gonzalez), and Rubalcaba¹s Charanga Tipica de Concierto (with renowned Cuban bassist, Cachao). He studied classical music as a member of the National Symphony Orchestra while learning jazz from musicians like Chucho Valdes. Since coming to England Omar has taught Cuban music and jazz violin at Leeds College of Music and Trinity College of Music.

Omar Puente (Electric Violin), Robert Mitchell (Acoustic Piano), Darren Taylor (Double Bass).

Wall Project, Presented by Rich Mix and Havana Club

Rich Mix and Havana Club the Authentic Cuban Rum are calling on amateur or professional artists to submit designs for a specially commissioned wall art project, taking place over the next twelve months at the Shoreditch cultural hotspot, Rich Mix.

The art competition includes three commissions launched by three live events, hosted in conjunction with the start of Rich Mix’s new seasons.

Artist Remi/Rough launched the Havana Club Wall Project with his interpretation and vision of the values that make Havana so unique. The celebrated urban artist was specially commissioned to design and paint an interior wall that runs the entire length of the Rich Mix events space.

Artists are invited to submit their entries to panel of experts, led by Remi/Rough, who will select two winning designs to feature on the Rich Mix interior wall throughout the year. The design must embody the unique and inspiring attitude that reflects the true values of the Cuban capital – humanity, spontaneity and creativity, this refreshing attitude highlighting the informality, passion and generosity of the people of Havana.

Design sketches must be submitted to Rich Mix (visualarts@richmix.org.uk) as a jpg by:
o March 21 with the winning wall design on show from May to August 2011; or
o July 2 with the winning wall design on show from September to December 2011.

The project celebrates Rich Mix and Havana Club’s shared ethos of inspired ingenuity for creativity while nurturing new and emerging talent.

To make the innocent and beautiful dark, to find soul in stark, geometric swashes - somewhere beneath the acrylic, emulsion and spray paint grins Remi/Rough. South London born and bred (circa 1971) Remi Morgan has been breaking boundaries and messing up heads for the past 26 years. Transcending the traditional and somewhat idealised vision of a graffiti writer, the celebrated artist is passionate and unforgiving in his creative progression.
