Dutch Brass Ensemble
Journey to the Amazon through musical ritual and puppetry | Breath of the forest
The Dutch Brass Ensemble and Duda Paiva Company are collaborating again in Breath of the Forest, a concert created with the Kamayurá community from the Amazon region. For this special occasion, musicians from the community are traveling to the Netherlands to share their musical traditions on stage together with the NBE.
Together with Andreia Duarte, an artist and researcher who lived with the Kamayurá for many years, they travelled to the Amazon and immersed themselves in the existence of this indigenous community.
Inspired by their worldview and the music of Heitor Villa-Lobos, the performance weaves together live music, movement and puppetry into a ritual of listening. The project honours indigenous peoples. A meditative and physical experience, rooted in an ethical exchange and with mutual consent, told in breath and sound.
