Adewale’s second doctoral concert explores the musical bow Berimbau.
Hidden Sounds – Reconnected Identities is the second artistic component of Adriano Adewale’s doctoral project, exploring the essence of music making through the berimbau, an Afro-Brazilian musical bow. It investigates how musicians express and communicate using a minimum amount of tools.
