BRAZIL: ORKESTRA RUMPILEZZ
The Orkestra Rumpilezz is an orchestra of percussion and brass created in 2006 by Letieres Leite. It’s about a group of instrumental folk music in which music is attributed to the ancestral music from Bahia in a harmonic modern garb, percussion with African roots and under the influence of modern jazz. Both compositions and arrangements are conceived from drawings and rhythm of the claves from the percussive universe of Bahia - inspired in large associations such as the percussive Ile Aiye, Olodum, Sambas Recôncavo, among others - with the influence of Candomblé.
The Orchestra consists of five musicians in the percussion (drums, deaf, timbau, agogo, tambourine, caxixi) and 14 brass musicians (four trumpets, four trombones, two alto sax, 2 tenor sax, a baritone sax and 1 tuba).
