Adriana Portela at the 2022 Wula Drum & Dance Retreat

We are honored of having Adriana Portela teach for the first time at the 2022 Wula Drum & Dance Retreat!
Adriana Portela is the pioneering artistic director of Banda Didá, Brazil’s first all-female Afro-Brazilian percussion band, and the first Black female conductor in the history of Salvador da Bahia, Brazil. As Didá’s dynamic leader, she also leads a movement of resistance, combatting Brazil’s long history of racism and anti-feminism with music, community and education.
