Transcultural music and dance performance
In the Brazilian candomblé cult an archetypal pantheon connects to percussion rhythms, dance and coral singings in a unique and fascinating way. Koro contextualizes the music of candomblé with a new harmonic and sound wise environment. Samples of the original call- and response singings are placed in the centre of compositions and experience the listener the spirituality of the candomblé through a musical performance supported by dance performance and digital visual art.
