World-class brazilian percussionist Jorge Alabé brings the rich musical culture of Brazil to the U.S. as a performing artist and master teacher. His deep history and skill developed as he grew up playing Afro-Brazilian and samba rhythms in Rio de Janeiro, and took him around the world as director of percussion with the legendary performing company Oba Oba. Jorge is an acknowledged percussion master, and we are very lucky to have him back in Portland before he returns to Rio, where he spends part of the year.

Jorge is also available for private lessons in Afro-based rhythms of Candomblé as well as Rio-style samba. TEXT 503-901-3023 for more info.
