Explore our diverse programs that foster community engagement and artistic expression for all.

Kanata (BATUCADA)

Kanata is a batucada that embodies the rich Afro-descendant tradition through its drumming. Our program is designed for individuals with no prior musical training. It serves as a powerful tool to combat racism and social isolation, fostering inclusion and building bridges between diverse ethnicities, religions, and cultures. This program actively creates a strong social fabric.
