Title

Ijexá: A Brazilian Rhythm with Kitchen Equipment

Creator

Varvarigou, Ellie

Abstract

My creative project is an audio piece where I play a Brazilian rhythm using kitchen equipment. As a music major, my aim for this project was to incorporate my love for music into the course subject and make it into something fun. I drew inspiration for this project from Prof. Amarildo Costa, whom I had the chance to meet while studying abroad. He was the leader of the Brazilian Percussion ensemble, and he would always tell us in class that his passion for percussion burned so bright that when he was little, he would use pots and spoons in his house to try to make music.
