Ricardo Frota’s 'Ecology of Sound'

The will present Ricardo Frota’s "Ecology of Sound" on Saturday, Jan. 14 at 10:30 a.m. in the Community Room.

Frota brings an exciting and dramatic 45-minute performance that inspires chil­dren and parents to absorb the rhythms, sounds, and feelings of the Brazilian rain­forest. Through his engaging and dynamic style, Ricardo entertains and educates while playing multi-cultural songs from indigenous peoples around the world. He incorporates African, South Ameri­can, Native American, and Brazilian music into an interac­tive experience for people of all ages. His performances highlight the use of traditional rhythm instruments as well as instruments made of recycled and natural-found objects.
