The heartbeat of Haitian dance is its rhythms. Dancers and musicians merge into a high-energy unit and thus inspire each other. In order to really feel the dance, it is important to understand its rhythmic fundamentals. And this is exactly where this workshop wants to start. In a playful way, you will learn simple striking techniques that will support you in playing rhythmic patterns. You will get an insight into the exciting world of polyrhythm, which underlies all Haitian rhythms. Claude will show you the different voices in small rotating groups, which then together create the overall rhythm. And so you will quickly discover what a beautiful and powerful experience it is to create a rhythm together. It is very important to Claude to get you into the flow of playing with ease, so that you can enjoy the joy of making music together. With his humorous and calm manner, he understands how to take away any uncertainty from his students.
It is close to his heart to share his musical knowledge ceaselessly in order to let many people participate in the beauty of the culture of his homeland.

And here is a little insight into one of the last workshops with Claude
Voices from our students

For me, the drumming, the chants and the dance of Haitian culture create a healing unity. Learning and experiencing these with Zsuzsa and Claude is a great gift.
Since I've been dancing Haitian with Zsuzsa and learning the rhythms and chants of his homeland through Claude, I've had a piece of the Caribbean in my heart. (Rumjana)

Claude Saturne is an event ... a top percussionist with tremendous expertise, including styles outside of the mainstream. Always friendly and down to earth. Mèsi e Ayibobo! (Rainer Redeker - musician)

Claude Saturne
has been playing since childhood. Through his mother, who was an ounzi-kanzo (spiritual singer in a vodou temple), he was introduced to the ritual rhythms and chants of Haiti at an early age and gained deep insights into the practice of a vodou temple. At the age of sixteen he met the musicians of the legendary Mizik Rasin band Boukan Ginen, who shaped him musically. Numerous encounters with percussionists and vodou priests in different areas of Haiti followed, which enabled him to expand his musical knowledge. Today he has mastered over 80 rhythms and is constantly looking for new variations. In 2000 he became a member of the Badji group - under the direction of the well-known jazz saxophonist Turgot Théodat and was involved in many productions at home and abroad until 2009. At the same time he played with various Haitian artists - such as Wooli Saint Louis Jean, Belo, Bob Bovano, Samba Zao, was involved in various theater productions and directed countless musical training courses at schools, cultural centers and at the Academy of Arts in Port-au-Prince. Claude has lived in France since 2009 and has played in various productions with artists such as Erol Josué, Bob Bovano, Moonlight Benjamin. Among other things, he participated in the international project `Jazz Racines Haiti` by Jacques Schwartz-Bart.
