The high-energy rhythm of Brazil comes to the Jacobs Center as Arts for Learning San Diego presents Family Arts Day in the Diamond -- Brazilian Carnaval.
This family-friendly event is free and open to the public and takes place at the amphitheater and the World Court area of the center.
This Carnaval celebration features the popular local ensemble Sol e Mar. Sol e Mar is dedicated to sharing the experience and love of the sights and sounds of Brazil. All of the members of the ensemble have studied and performed extensively in South America and Cuba, as well as in the United States.
Led by Mark Lamson, director and lead percussionist, Sol e Mar specializes in the music of two countries whose musical roots are strongly tied to Africa: Cuba and Brazil.
Dancer Cybele Nieman Pena is one of the most sought after dance educators in San Diego. Nieman Pena will demonstrate the traditional dances that bring the music of Carnaval alive in addition to other forms of dance including hip-hop.
This event kicks-off with a musical procession to the World Court where families can make their own colorful Carnaval masks with artists from the San Diego Guild of Puppetry.
Families can use their imagination to create unique masks that can be worn during the event! In addition, the first 50 families that arrive will receive a free book (one book per family) to take home. Sol e Mar and Nieman Pena will join together for a performance featuring dancing, drumming and audience participation. The program ends with a conga line around the amphitheater and up to the World Court.
