MATEMU BAND

 
The CIES ONLUS, through its Youth Aggregation Center, MATEMU, is participating in the 24th Edition of the International Community Fair on Saturday, September 17th at the American Overseas School of Rome with short reviews of this involving experience. 

The multicultured Matemu Band,  composed of kids from many different nationalities,  has been created thanks to the work of the whole Center and to the experience of two instructors/operators.  Some of these kids have entered the band already with musical skills while others have come to know music thanks to the daily workof MATEMU.  .

The show will last about 40 minutes.    The kids will play four clasical pieces:

  • Feeling good
  • Halleluja
  • The house of the rising sun
  • Forma e sostanza

This music will be played by the Matemu kids and some parts will be rearranged in rap.  .

A break dance performance  will also take place during the day.  The MATEMU kids will perform various choreographies realized throughout the year

- Three or four free style/rap  exhibitions specifically studied by the wrap operator at the Center will be presented  during the day.

 

The performances will highlight the main workshops carried out throughout the year by kids from the Center.   The Creative-artistic activities which take place every afternoon thanks to artists and educators, include more than 70 adolescents and young people, Italian and foreigners, turn this place into a creative and experimental citicenship, unique in its style. 

The language of music, theatre, dance and play, photography, video making, cinema and figurative arts help, in this space, to grow role models of living together and communicate  based on respecting cultural, socialand general   differences.  

This event aims to represent the positive and creative Energy that kids, children of immigrants, born in Italy or refugees in our country, together with Italian kids are able to share  the fundamental values of Italian people, which are:  equal rights , respect and communication among different people.
