Candida Rose returns for another dynamic class that highlights the traditional songs and music based in Cabo Verdean culture and heritage!
Each class will include instruction on the music and how to sing some of the songs, coaching on some of the dances that go with these songs and rhythms, as well as the opportunity for participants to share their own voice, individually and/or with the group as a chorus. Genres that will be explored include Morna, Coladeira, Funana, and Batuku. Some of Candida’s original material will also be presented to encourage students to think about their own creative desires and abilities.
This class is beginner friendly. You do not need to have prior experience singing or know how to read music to participate.
This class starts at 6PM and ends at 7PM.
Born and raised in New Bedford, Massachusetts, “Candida Rose” Baptista is a 2nd generation American-born Cape Verdean. She is a vocalist, songwriter, entertainer, music and cultural educator, as well as a mother and grandmother. Her 10-song debut CD entitled “KabuMerikana: The Sum of Me”, combines her Cape Verdean musical roots with her American (primarily jazz) influences, a mixture she calls “KabuJazz”. She graduated from the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Arts in Music, specializing in African-American/World music performance and African-American Studies. She earned her Masters of Science from UMASS Boston in Transnational, Cultural, and Community Studies (now known as Critical Ethnic and Community Studies). Through her company Golden Rose Music, Candida spends her days traveling throughout Massachusetts and Rhode Island as a Life Enrichment Entertainer singing for Nursing Homes, Assisted Living and Adult Day Care facilities, as well as for various senior groups and associations.
