I arrived to our beautiful
rainforest camp one day later than the rest of the group, so this day 10 was my
first day.
It started out with a
beautiful walk in the rainforest and meetings with big spiders.
The first music in-put this
day was small presentations from Ghana and Mali where they played, danced and
made a little performance from their folk cultures.
After that we went to some
small groups where I joined the group with the finish woman Kristina. We
started out with a small finish folk song, which developed into some vocal
improvisation with a Chinese singer, a Ghanaian singer and me. It was beautiful
to hear our different musical references and our different approaches to the
harmonic and rhythmical layers in the improvisation. A good way to get to know
each other. After that we played a small tune that some of the other
participants brought to the class: A Chinese song and a Malaysian song.
Later that day I went to
sing some choir with Kristian Skårhøj. We worked with grooving in different
levels and sang a Brazilian, Japanese song.
The day ended up with
dinner and a Gendang performance.
An inspiring and beautiful
day :-)
