This is a series of stand alone workshops that happen once a month covering Cuban Bata rhythms and song sequences for each of the 20 Santeria Orisha. The course will take place in Stoke Newington, Hackney and be lead by David Pattman. David Pattman became passionate about Afro-Cuban drumming by playing on the street corners of the Bronx during trips to New York City in the 1980s.

Previous drumming experience essential.

Hi,
IdeasTap, the online arts and funding organisation, has teamed up with Sky Arts to launch a new bursary for young artists.
The Sky Arts Ignition: Futures Fund will offer five young artists £30,000 each to fund their work for a full year. The fund is open to artists aged 18-30 living in the UK and Ireland, and is designed to bridge the gap between formal education and becoming a working artist.
The Sky Arts Ignition: Futures Fund is open to individual artists working in visual art, theatre, performance art, film, music, dance or literature.
The scheme will also provide each artist with a mentor from Sky, who will help develop their skills and knowledge in the arts and commercial sector. The artists will also have the opportunity to showcase their work on Sky Arts – be it on TV, online or on demand.
The deadline for applicants is 19th September 2011. Two winners will be selected during this round of funding. The next round will open in early 2012 from which three further winners will be chosen.
Please find attached a full press release outlining this opportunity further.

PRESS RELEASE
*May 2011*
*She Just Keeps FLO-ing *
Want a passionate poet and soulful singer to perform for you? Let the powerful talent of FLOetic Lara flow over you.
FLO's unique style is infused with jazz, soul, hip hop, reggae and gospel, combined in an energy-filled performance of spoken word and live music.
An independent and currently unsigned artist, FLOetic Lara launched her debut CD, ‘Jus Let It FLO…-Project # 1’, at a sold out concert summer 2009. This was followed by a six-week tour of UK, Norway and Southeast Asia, which included Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, and Bali. FLO then toured the UK causing a stir in the London music scene and continually growing her fan base through her potent live performances and presence on social networking sites. FLO was also invited to perform at the annual ‘AHW International Festival’ in Norway in the company of dub poet Linton Kwesi Johnson.
Phase two of FLO’s recording projects was recently completed after being given the opportunity by T W Rhino, to record her first full album, with full live band, at Bob Marley’s legendary ‘Tuff Gong Studios’ in Kingston-Jamaica. FLO went down a storm in Jamaica, performing at the 10th anniversary of the ‘Calabash International Literature Festival’ and The Ocho Rios International Jazz Festival. Also appearing on the ‘Smile Jamaica’ TV Show -equivalent to GMTV here in London. FLO’s completed album entitled ‘For Lovers Of…’ is due for release June 5th 2011 at a guaranteed explosive launch concert at Plan B, Brixton, London.
FLO plans to release a ‘triple threat’ of projects later this year including a Jazz CD, a Spoken Word CD & a Collaborations CD.
Based in Brixton, London, FLO has performed her high-energy shows at Brixton Academy, The Jazz Café, The Royal Festival Hall and Hackney Empire, as well as entertaining audiences in America, Czechoslovakia, Tanzania and Italy.
FLOetic Lara has supported many artists including Omar and Don-E (both of whom produced music for the ‘Jus Let It FLO…’ CD), Jagwar Wright and Dwele.
Expelled from school at the age of 13 and having left home at age 12, FLO spent her teenage years in care homes. She was often told she would amount to nothing. FLOetic Lara now uses her own rich life experiences to influence her songs and poetry.
At age 17 FLO was appointed the UK Youth Ambassador because of her ability to "overcome adversity" and flown to the USA to shadow the then secretary of state Collin Powell and share her experiences with the American youth. She was also invited to write a poem, read & present it to Prince Philip at a special lunch at St. James Palace London.
FLO has been described as inspirational, empowering and a role model for young people.
