The Dance of the Earth Orixás
Part Two:

Mother's Movement Percussion

really never met anyone who was not attracted by the sound of a drum. Most people feel a force, momentum and excitement that are sometimes inexplicable. In particular I always enjoy when I witness people meet for the first time with a live drum and emotion is visible on their faces.

In the film "The Miracle of Candeal" 1, Carlinhos Brown (percussion Salvador de Bahia, Brazil) explained even group of children about the origins of percussion:


"Nature was responsible for creating percussion. And what is the real drums? When Mom and Dad have us begin to dream. Then we're making with the rhythm of the heart, with their beats. And the first bass sound we hear, what we do in the womb. And according to the rhythm of the mother, we became great drummers, because he puts the rhythm is the mother, the woman. "

That is the key to the mystery. Ever since the womb, before you see, we listen. So, music is considered the first art known to man and enjoy. The percussion in particular, we are thrilled and transported to a magical land which we consider supernatural and yet, we discover our natural side, primitive human. And inside the drum, the rhythms more primary emotions just wake us, are the rhythms of Earth.


who can dance can play

a dancer But not necessarily easier to learn to strike the pads. So the drummers, have an advantage that often, unknown. They al saber música tiene la interpretación del ritmo, la “oreja” como se dice vulgarmente, que les permite trasladar ese ritmo al cuerpo en el tiempo exacto. Algunos percusionistas me han comentado que al intentar tomar clases de danzas le han dicho que mejor se dedique a tocar, ya que no tenían condiciones para el baile”.Puede ser que no tengan la destreza física, pero eso gracias a dios se aprende, y se llama “Técnica”.

Los movimientos vinculados a la Tierra se centran básicamente sobre tres patas:

1) El arraigo de los pies al suelo. La planta se mantiene paralela al piso (mas adelante, we will dance as variants of each Orixá).
2) Earth's basic position is with legs spread to shoulder width or slightly more, semi-bent knees, the more you bend your knees, the posture will be more demanding and will make the muscles and joint work harder. Solar plexus just leaning toward the earth in a clear demonstration of connection, respect and veneration. Shoulders relaxed. Taking care to keep your head up your neck relaxed and aimed upward, looking for the connection to the sky for that lospies firmly on the ground, look heaven.
3) connection with the root chakra, located in the perineum between the anus and genitals. This energy center is just, that links us to the land, we focus on the here and now "is related to the amount of physical energy and the desire to live in physical reality. Your bloqueamiento cause reluctance and lack of vital force and other ills.

I had and I have students referred by psychologists and psychiatrists, yoga instructors, dancers from other disciplines who come especially to establish a stronger link with the earth element. The improvements are notable.
guessing that I will be paramount in the dances Africa, is the work release, order and plenifique movements linked to the land.
To achieve this, we must work hard and conscientiously. Many times, those who come to the African dances think everything is very strong, fast, violent. However
ground dances are quite calm, and there is a difference that need to be clear:

POWER IS NOT THE SAME SPEED.


So it's sort of chaotic movements, control the speed and power set.


And finally another rule Gold:


Never forget that silence has a place in the ritmo.Y that silence must be squeezed and valued. Moments are barely imperceptible movement that remade to be born again and managed.


If you do not hear the music of silence and respect your breaks, dance is hasty and chaotic. An uncontrollable force that leads to fatigue, away from the real goal: Learn to capture the energy, distributed ydosificarla for the sake of our physical and mental health.
