 <\/p>\n

Coming from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, percussion is deeply central to the culture and to performance practice, but at the same time, within the professional music scene, band leadership, musical direction, and decision-making roles are still predominantly occupied by men.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is not only visible on stage, but across the whole structure that supports the music industry \u2014 in rehearsal spaces, live gigs, touring networks, studio work, and informal systems of opportunity. It is a full ecosystem that shapes who gets access, who gets visibility, and who is trusted to lead.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

From here, the idea is to open a conversation.
\nLet\u2019s talk about this \u2014 about how these dynamics are experienced in real life, and how they affect the way music is made and shared.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is an open space for exchange! Questions are very welcome, and sharing experiences, perspectives, and reflections is part of this talk.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The talk will be moderated by Yodana Thorsdal from the board of the Copenhagen Carnival.[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_accordion typography=”advanced” sign=”plus” sign_size=”md” gutter_simple=”0″ titles_font=”font-377884″ titles_size=”fontsize-155944″ titles_weight=”500″ uncode_shortcode_id=”134066″ active_tab=”0″][vc_accordion_tab gutter_size=”2″ column_padding=”2″ title=”About Guira Una” tab_id=”1743691401-1-881744115625955174419560308078281178029375222517803236954851780326188746″][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”p” text_font=”font-377884″ text_size=”fontsize-155944″ text_weight=”500″ text_height=”fontheight-375438″ uncode_shortcode_id=”130986″]Rach Ara\u00fajo: Guitar and vocal
\nLet\u00edcia Salgueiro: Percussion<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With roots in the explosive carnival of Rio de Janeiro, where the duo originates, and a deep knowledge and love for the many folk music traditions across Brazil (i.e., maculel\u00ea, bossa nova, ijexa, samba reggae, maracatu and many more), the duo beautifully combines and interprets historical rhythms and harmonies using a large range of traditional percussion instrumentation sensible mixed with electronica, guitar and vocal.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Guira Una are female band leaders in a male-dominated music culture in Brazil, and this takes immense strength.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And this strength is evident everywhere in Guira Una\u2019s vibrant performances, along with a uniquely compassionate touch that is guaranteed to move and teach you new ways to approach rhythm and harmony.[\/vc_custom_heading][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab gutter_size=”2″ column_padding=”2″ title=”\u23f0 Time and place \u23f0” tab_id=”1743691401-1-88174411562595517441956030807828126178029375222517803236954851780326188746″][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”p” text_font=”font-377884″ text_size=”fontsize-155944″ text_weight=”500″ text_height=”fontheight-375438″ uncode_shortcode_id=”911138″]Thursday June 11, 2026
