]]>Background
The work of body percussion performed by the group Barbatuques was initiated by the musician Fernando Barba through his interest in extracting sounds from his own body, a habit that was baptized with the word barbatuques. Since 1988 Fernando has been developing this work, initially as a mere amusement and later as a research. In 1991, when he was admitted to the course of Popular Music at UNICAMP, he deepened his studies on rhythm with the musician and professor José Eduardo Gramani. In 1993 he founded in São Paulo the school of music Auê Núcleo de Ensino Musical, together with André Hosoi and Marcos Azambuja. Since 1995 Fernando has been teaching regular classes on body percussion at Auê. In the same year he learned of the work developed by the musician and researcher of body music, Stênio Mendes. From then on they started a musical and pedagogic interchange and Stênio became a constant collaborator in this work.
In 1996 Fernando founded the group Barbatuques, gathering students and partners in this incipient research. Initially, they participated in shows of other artists and since 1997 the group has performed their own shows.
Between 1998 and 1999 the group participated in various TV programs and initiated the creation of its own repertoire for the first cd.
At the end of 2000 the group Barbatuques was selected by Instituto Itaú Cultural to participate in shows and cds of the project Musical Cartography selecting representatives from new musical trends from the whole country.
In 2001 the group performed during the ceremony to award the Itaú Unicef prize that took place in Credicard Hall together with some two hundred children from various NGOs in São Paulo, the result of workshops given by the group together with these entities. At the end of the year the group participated in the show “Human Rights in Beggars’ Banquet” that took place in the São Paulo Municipal Theater, with the support of the UN and broadcasted by TV Cultura.
In June 2002 the group performed during the ceremony to award Prêmio Criança 2002 that took place in Sesc Vila Mariana by Abrinq Foundation. In July the group launched its first cd, Corpo do Som that registered in a definitive manner the path of this research on body percussion and spontaneous music.
In 2003 Barbatuques was selected to participate in Midem, the largest event of phonographic industry in the world, in the city of Cannes, France. Barbatuques received excellent critics from the public and press, who were surprised by the innovating proposal and with the musical quality of the group.
Returning from France, Barbatuques opened “Prata da Casa” in SESC Pompéia, having a record audience with over a thousand people in the theater.
During the Carnival, Recife received the group that was included among the participants in the eighth edition of Festival RecBeat, being well received by the local media and public, estimated around 15 thousand people.
Throughout the year Barbatuques performed many times in the State of Rio de Janeiro and in the interior of São Paulo; in Curitiba, it shared the stage with great Brazilian musicians in the show “O Som do Refavela”; it participated in the Festival Guiomar Novaes, in São João da Boa Vista, and in Sao Paulo gathered over two thousand people at SESC Pompéia in two days of shows.
In December, a performance during the project Concertos Matinais da Sala São Paulo attracted spectators from various regions of the city, getting a full house. Also during the last month of 2003 the group performed in Salvador, at the invitation of the IV Mercado Cultural, in a show that enchanted the Teatro Castro Alves.
During the whole year of 2004 Barbatuques performed shows and gave workshops in the main Brazilian cities such as Brasília, Curitiba, Rio de Janeiro, Belo Horizonte, Londrina, towns in the interior of São Paulo, among others. The group made in partnership with Chico César the cd for children “Marias do Brasil” a result of the play with the same name, with soundtrack by Chico César and musical direction by Fernando Barba. During this same year the group also performed shows together with the percussionist Robertinho Silva. In December, they participated in a recording for the prize-winning work of the English group “One Giant Leap”, that produces DVDs mixing sounds and images from all over the world, in partnership with National Geographic.
In March 2005 the group went on a European tour, including Spain and France. The group had several performances in Spain, in Barcelona and other Spanish cities in Catalonia at the invitation of Fundació Cultural La Caixa. In France, the group performed at Cité de La Musique integrating the program of the Year of Brazil in France. In July Fernando Barba returned to Barcelona where he gave workshops at Fundació Cultural La Caixa for musical educators from various parts of Spain.
Still in 2005 Barbatuques initiated the recording of its DVD registering the performance during the celebration of the 40 years of Teatro Tuca in São Paulo. In November the group launched its second cd, entitled “O seguinte é esse” and returned to Europe for further performances. In 2006 the group will perform shows to launch its new cd all over Brazil.

A fellow flickrite posted this pic some month ago...and put some hillarious notes onto it.
We followed his example and started a note- party right away, leading from silly stuff to discussions about architectural developments...

Laura
This is a test post from 
, a fancy photo sharing thing.
I decided to censor myself.
Since flickr seems to be enabled to decide, what german flickrites should see or not, I just took a few minutes to think about this whole bullshit....
Right-
I decided to make this pic the first of all my sets.
It shouldn't increase my interestingness much,
since this pic is already available in multi- language versions all over flickr.
As I will turn uninteresting to all those visiting and crashing into an Anti- censorship- WALL,
flickr will loose money....
and maybe start thinking again...!!!
I am fed up with this suckin' bullshit!
**********************************************************************************************
flickr sperrt uns aus!
Und auch dich!
Seit gestern werden für deutsche Nutzer keine Bilder mehr angezeigt,
die als 'moderate' oder 'restricted' markiert sind!
Es gibt keine Moeglichkeit das umzustellen
- das ist eine grobe Unverschämtheit und Frechheit von flickr!
English:
If your Yahoo! ID is based in Singapore, Germany, Hong Kong or Korea you will only be able to view safe content based on your local Terms of Service so won’t be able to turn SafeSearch off.
In other words that means, that German users can not access photos on flickr that are not flagged "safe" ... only flowers and landscapes for the Germans ...
We will not let this happen! Copy and upload this picture to your account - show flickr who we are!
Francais:
Si votre compte Yahoo! est basé à Singapour, à Hong Kong, en Corée ou en Allemagne, vous ne pourrez voir que les photos qui n'ont pas été marquées comme ayant un contenu qui peut choquer. Toutes les autres ne vous seront pas accessibles. Vous serez donc condamnés à ne voir que des paysages et des fleurs. Il ne faut pas laisser faire ça. Envoyez cette photo sur votre compte pour montrer à Flickr que nous savons nous mobiliser contre la censure !
Español:
Si tu Yahoo! ID está basada en Singapor, Alemania, Hong Kong o Corea sólamente verás contenido llamado seguro basándose en nuestros términos de servicio locales y no podrás deshabilitar el modo de búsqueda segura..
En otras palabras esto significa, que usuarios alemanes p.ej. ya no podrán acceder a fotos en flickr que hayan sido "flagged", es decir marcadas como no seguras y para todo público... solamente flores y paisajes para los alemanes ...
No permitiremos que ésto suceda! Copia y carga esta foto a tu cuenta de yahoo por favor para mostrar a flickr quienes somos!
Em português:
Se o seu Yahoo ID tem base em Singapura, Alemanha, Hong Kong ou Korea, você apenas poderá visualizar conteúdos seguros com base nos seus Termos de Serviço locais, e não poderá, portanto, desligar o "SafeSearch". Em outras palavras, isso significa que os usuários alemães não poderão acessar fotos que não forem assinaladas como "seguras"... apenas flores e paisagens para os alemães!! Copiem e façam upload nas suas contas dessa foto - mostremos ao Flickr quem somos!
**A versão original pra baixar:
farm2.static.flickr.com/1299/543864623_7aadef1e69_o.jpg
italiano:
se il tuo ID yahoo è localizzato a Singapore, in Germania oppure ad Hong Kong o in Korea potrai vedere solo foto dal contenuto che è in accordo con il locale accordo dei termini di servizio per cui gli utenti flickr di quelle nazioni non potranno cambiare da SafeSearch on in SafeSearch off.
In altre parole ciò significa che gli utenti tedeschi e delle altre nazioni citate non potranno accedere a foto su flickr che non sono flaggate "safe" e quindi solo fiori e paesaggi per i tedeschi.
Copia e uploada quest' immagine sul tuo account - mostra a flickr chi siamo!
Lade dieses Bild runter und poste es in deinem Account! Lass uns das Bild überall auf flickr verteilen und es in 'Interestingness' heben!! So geht es nicht!
