Fabric of Life workshop and concert

Saturday, July 26, 7:00 pm until 9:00 pm
Buckland Public Hall, 15 Upper Street, Buckland MA 01338

Pre-concert Workshop: 4PM Gabán / Latin Strings / Venezuelan Strings During this afternoon workshop, Larry & Joe will teach attendees a two-chord gabán, a fundamental rhythmic and harmonic structure of the musical style, la música llanera. Participants will learn how strings are used percussively through muting and golpes to create the iconic joropo feel. Though Larry & Joe will use the cuatro (an instrument intrinsically bound to the Venezuelan identity) as a teaching tool, this language is translatable to other string instruments like the banjo. Workshop open to musicians of all-levels. Instruments welcome and encouraged but not required

Concert 7PM Join Larry & Joe at the Buckland Public Hall for an evening of music without borders. Reimagining their two musical traditions, Llanera superstar Larry Bellorín (Venezuela) and Latingrass GRAMMY-nominee Joe Troop (North Carolina) play harp, banjo, fiddle, cuatro, maracas, guitar, upright bass, and sing to inspire joy and unity. Suggested donation is $20 - $80.
