Program on Latin America and the Caribbean presents
Music, Peace, and Justice in the Americas: A Tribute to John
Burdick
Please join the Program on Latin America and the Caribbean (PLACA)
to celebrate and honor the life of our dear colleague and friend, Professor of
Anthropology, John Burdick. John’s work on race, religion, and music in Brazil
and on peace and justice across the Americas inspires this PLACA musical
tribute. Mark your calendar to gather in Zoom with other PLACA friends to relax
together and enjoy listening to different musical performers throughout the
Fall and Spring semesters.
Performers:
Samba Laranja
The Syracuse University
Brazilian Ensemble
Directors: Elisa and Josh Dekaney
Samba Laranja is an
ensemble that performs various styles of Brazilian music, particularly music of
the African tradition such as maracatu, samba, and capoeira. Playing Brazilian
instruments such as alfaia, gonguê, surdo, agogô and berimbau, to name a few,
the performers share the rhythmically complex music of Brazil. Among Samba
Laranja’s most notable accomplishments are several Syracuse Music Awards and
performances at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City. This concert, in
honor of Dr. John Burdick, will feature choros by Afro-Brazilian
composer Pixinguinha and samba by poet-composer Chico Buarque. Additionally,
the concert will feature batucadas de samba, maracatu, and capoeira.
