This course offers an introduction to Latin American rhythms through a didactic and hands-on repertoire, which is adapted for the voice and for instruments.
Musical genres are approached through practice, and oral transmission; the written teaching material for melodic and rhythmic instruments will only be used as references for certain rhythmic details.
Rhythms studied:
Peruvian (Landó, Festejo, Marinera, Vals, Panalivio)
Colombian (Bambuco, Pasillo, Porro),
Venezuelan (Joropo, Merengue),
Cuban (Danzón, Habanera, Son),
Argentinian (Milonga, Tango)
Brazilian (Choro, Samba, Forro).
Moderate proficiency on an instrument is essential. Sergio also offers private guitar classes to individuals and small groups
Sergio Valdeos is a Peruvian guitarist, arranger and composer. After a long and brilliant career in Peru and Brazil, Sergio moved to Geneva in 2016, looking for new musical horizons.

This course, based on the Sufi tradition of whirling dance, is accessible to all. The class starts with a listening meditation that offers better understanding of Samâ, which means spiritual listening.

Peruvian dance is the result of several vibrant cultural encounters; Incan, Spanish and African traditions have all combined and this melange has ripened over the centuries.
