La Máquina presents a special Rhythm with Signs Workshop led by its creator, Santiago Vázquez. Open to musicians of all levels and genres, the workshop introduces the improvisation method developed in Argentina over 20 years ago, now used by ensembles around the world. On tour through Europe and Japan, Santiago will make a stop in the Netherlands for a workshop and live performance.
Bring your instrument and join the closing jam session on Monday the 15th at Zwarte Ruiter, part of the Prinsjesnach Festival, exclusively for workshop participants. Let’s make music, connect, and groove together.
