On 16 April 2019, we held a percussion workshop at ABC Theatre, entitled “The secrets of rhythm and impact of roots on contemporary music” with Radek Němejec. During the workshop, we examined topics such as these: continuity of musical styles to the present; what is clave and what types there are; what is tumbao; style of music: rumba, son, bembe, abaqua, swing, cha-cha, funk, samba. At the end of the seminar, we involved the audience in clapping and singing.
