Vida Seca - Som de Sucata em Goiânia from diguilim on Vimeo.

Em suas apresentações e oficinas o grupo traz a denúncia sobre os problemas sociais e ambientais que enfrentamos, tanto com sua estética quanto com sua proposta de debate sobre a destruição ambiental e a desigualdade social que o modelo de desenvolvimento de nossa sociedade tem provocado. O quarteto formado por Thiago Verano, Danilo Rosolem, Igor Zargov e Ricardo Roquete, pretende despertar com suas apresentações e oficinas “cidadãos ritmistas” atentos às possibilidades do lixo e da sucata para a criação musical.

Em 2008 o Vida Seca lançou seu primeiro cd Som de Sucata, produção independente, que traz sete composições do grupo. O Vida Seca também participou do cd Ópera de uma Vida Seca do grupo matogrossense Triêro, compondo o arranjo e tocando na música Lixo, letra de Anthony Brito, do Triêro.

Em 2008 e 2009 participou do projeto Roda de Leitura do Sesc Goiânia, que leva para escola públicas da rede municipal espetáculos de contação de histórias e a apresentação musical do Vida Seca.

No mês de outubro de 2009 realizou sua primeira turnê internacional por 6 cidades em Portugal: Almada, Braga, Lisboa, Porto, Seia e Seixal. Participou de eventos como o Cine Eco, em Seia, de um intercâmbio com o grupo de percussão tradicional portuguesa Tocá Rufar, no Seixal, e do concerto Triptico, em parceria com o projeto Open Gate 5, no Porto. Além das apresentações musicais ministrou oficinas para alunos de escolas públicas em Seia e Braga e workshops para os integrantes da orquestra Tocá Rufar.

The group Vida Seca,was born in 2004, formed by guys that took part on a big percussion group formed by college students who took art and music out of garbage. With this idea, the group Vida Seca searched new rythms with garbage – cans, tins and boxes – researching afro-braziliams and latin-americans rythms. In this presentations and workshops, the group show its musics and its critics about social and environmental urban problems.

The group is formed by four guys: Thiago Verano, Danilo Rosolem, Igor Zargov and Ricardo Roquete, presents shows as well as workshops and instigate the public to form groups of percussion and to make use of recyclable materials as a way to be sensible to urban garbage problems.

With these presentations, the group want to awake “rythmists citizens” to the gargage possibilities and to take a critical attitude about capitalist society, which is all based on savage consumism.

Workshops

As well as musical presentations, the group Vida Seca develop its project of workshops “Lixo Ritmado, Batuque Reciclado”. Since the beginning, the group works with workshops, but it was in 2006 that the Vida Seca had its first project developed in Jardin Novo Mundo (Goiânia - Goiás) with children and teenagers from public schools. This project was supported by the cultural projects of the City Hall. In the same year, 2006, the group developed the same project in Senador Canedo (a city in Goiás) in association with another project called “Chico Mendes”, and in Aparecida de Goiânia (another city) in association with the project ”Comunidade Legal”.

In 2007, with the support of the cultural projects of the City Hall, the group Vida Seca developed the project “Lixo Ritmado” with children of collectors of recyclable materials that lived on slumi (slums on the outskirts of the city). Nowadays, the group works with classes and workshops to public in general, from college students to companies, as Petrobrás.

In these workshops, the group shows another purpose to make art out of garbage. They talk about environmental problems caused by urban garbage. A lot of methods of musical works are used, aiming to develop in the public the capacity to play percussion and be concerned with the environment, so, this public can become better citizens, who can play percussion using garbage and can have a critical and creative eye towards the world nowadays, too.
