BACK IN SCOTLAND WITH SAMBA RESILLE!
Two years after the 100% youth mobility in Glasgow with Sambayabamba, here we are in Edinburgh! Since Glasgow, which was my first mobility with Samba Résille, I had the chance to participate in many other projects, all very different from each other. The form of the project in Edinburgh was unprecedented for me: it was a week full of surprises, meetings, discoveries, sharing, laughter and music. The project, organized by Brouhaha International, brought together people from all over the world: India, Brazil, Hungary, Portugal, Martinique, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Germany, Zambia, South Africa and others. Welcome to «Eurovision» Samba kind. So many cultures and disciplines combined could only be a source of artistic, cultural and human enrichment. The format of the week did not really leave room for rest . Every day, numerous workshops were offered to us, allowing us to discover new disciplines (circus, theatre, dance, management, cultural…) and to show our practice, here the tool of the batucada, in order to reach all audiences. The most awaited moment of the week was certainly the carnival parade. Here too it was an unforgettable experience that will remain etched in my memory; the funniest memory was undoubtedly the fact of marching with feathers for the first time! Also during this mobility, I spoke four languages during the week: French, English, Portuguese, Italian, which was certainly tiring, but also productive. This mobility also enabled me to imagine a new Erasmus project for the young people of Samba Résille Youth Band and also to set up a music group within the association, based on the concept of original compositions.
