At our previous event, we were joined by none other than Santiago Vázquez—the Argentine creator of the musical sign language system, "𝗥𝗵𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗺 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻𝘀". Under his direction, the music unfolded entirely in the moment: grooves were built up, broken down, and steered in unexpected new directions, with Afrogrooves, La Maquina, and musicians from the audience all following the same sign language. The venue was packed, the dance floor was alive, and the music created was a truly one-of-a-kind experience.

On Sunday, November 15th, we’re continuing in that same spirit. No setlist, no fixed compositions, and no predetermined outcome. Using hand signals, the conductor guides an entire 𝗔𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗹𝗲 through grooves, breaks, improvisations, and musical surprises. Afrobeat, funk, jazz, percussion, and 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 converge in a concert composed entirely on the spot.

𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗷𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝗻!

For this edition, we’re making extra room in the second half of the concert for musicians who want to step onto the floor and become part of the music. 

Do you play drums, percussion, bass, guitar, keys, wind instruments, or any other instrument? With a basic understanding of "Rhythm and Percussion with Signs" you can be a part of the heart of the music. If you can't play, don't worry, let the music guide you, be inspired, dance and simply enjoy.

The previous edition sold out, so don’t wait too long to get your ticket for November 15th. With a 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁 for our community!! Whether you come to play, to dance, or simply to be surprised—at  𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀, no one knows exactly what will happen beforehand. And that is precisely why you’ll want to be there.

‍𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 is a project by Stichting Afrogrooves, in collaboration with Stichting Rhythm With Signs NL
