Music Works!<\/b> Dieser Name ist Programm an der Junior High School in Kopeyia, einem l\u00e4ndlichen Dorf der Volta Region Ghanas, nahe der Grenze zu Togo. Dort machen M\u00e4dchen und Jungen im Alter von 10 bis 18 Jahren gemeinsam Musik in der  Kopeyia School Brass Band. Das Album „Introducing The Kopeyia School Brass Band“ pr\u00e4sentiert erstmals die Musik der Gruppe. Zu h\u00f6ren sind Rhythmen und Melodien des Ewe-Stammes, zu denen bei Festen und Feierlichkeiten in der Volta Region Ghanas getanzt und gesungen wird. Die quicklebendige Musik basiert auf der lang\u00fcberlieferten, lokalen Musiktradition.<\/p>\n

Die traditionellen Trommeln bilden einen vielschichtigen, hypnotisierenden Groove f\u00fcr die Brass Section. Dabei kommen bis zu zehn unterschiedliche Trommeln zum Einsatz (u.a. Master Drum, Kagan, Kidi, Boba). Jede Trommel hat ihre speziellen, m\u00fcndlich \u00fcberlieferten und auf das Ensemble abgestimmten Figuren, die entsprechend der Signale der Mastertrommel gewechselt werden. Die vielen perkussiven Einzelinstrumente weben einen pulsierenden, sich im Detail immer wieder ver\u00e4nderten Klangteppich. Dar\u00fcber f\u00fchrt die erste Trompete mit ihren „Calls“ die Brass Section an, der Chor der Bl\u00e4ser antwortet.<\/p>\n

Basierend auf der Grundidee, dass Musik auf friedvolle Weise alle Menschen verbindet, hat 2010 der Pianist Jo Junghanss das Projekt Music Works!<\/b> gegr\u00fcndet. In einem Umfeld, in welchem den meisten Schulkindern umfassende Bildung schwer zug\u00e4nglich ist, bietet Music Works!<\/b> die M\u00f6glichkeit, an Musikunterricht teilzunehmen, Instrumentalspiel zu lernen und gemeinsam zu musizieren. Proben und Unterricht finden w\u00e4hrend des gesamten Schuljahres statt. Interkulturelles Lernen und internationale Verst\u00e4ndigung sind dabei die Schwerpunkte. Music Works! <\/b>ist von der Davis Foundation (USA) als \u201cDavis Project for Peace\u201d ausgezeichnet.<\/p>\n

\u201cIntroducing the Kopeyia Brass Band\u201d proudly presents traditional Ewe rhythms and songs brought to you most lively by students age 10 to 18 of the Junior High School in Kopeyia. Drumming, singing and playing brass instruments the girl\u2019s and boy\u2019s vividness and enthusiasm for music will move you. As part of the project Music Works! <\/b>at the junior high school in the rural village of Kopeyia in Ghana, West Africa, the ensemble enables school children to take part in music practice, to learn to play instruments and most of all, make music together!<\/p>\n

This first album by the Kopeyia Brass Band features songs and melodies in the tradition of the Ewe people, usually performed for dance and enjoyment at festivities and celebrations. The rhythm section plays strictly according to the local tradition using up to ten different drums, bells and rattles (including Kagan, Kidi, Boba, Gangkogui, Axatse). Very specific and strictly followed patterns of the drumming section interweave to form a pulsating groove. Put together, the many polyrhythmic patterns of the many percussive voices are conducted by the traditional figurations of the master drum. The brass sections answers the \u201ccalls\u201d by the lead trumpet. Lock into the groove of this young ensemble and let it move you!<\/p>\n

Based on the notion that music connects all human beings in peace, regardless of race or origin, Music Works!<\/b> has a focus on cross-cultural learning and international understanding beyond practical music education. It was awarded the „Davis Project for Peace“ 2010 grant by the Davis Foundation (USA).<\/p>\n
