Jaider De Oliveira performs 'Moving' at the opening of '...Arrivi ...Partenze' in Brisbane Australia. Produced by Alessandro Sorbello http://www.alessandrosorbello.com Currently Jaider has produced two c.d.'s The first Samba down under and secondly roots, you are able to purchase them directly from him by writing to his email. Soon to be released is Alegria Instrumental. In Jaider's Own Words.. The sounds of my childhood in Brazil, the cultural background and African influences these are part of my main inspiration! The days of the carnival as a child, holding hands with mum and dad and listening to street percussion sounds. Rhythms and more rhythms played from anything -- I could grab hold of that -- the kitchen cabinet, the wooden chairs, playing the Samba with the box of matches, the garbage bin -- all had sounds for me as a child. And then my first guitar at the age of 11, presented to me by my dad. And dad said to me 'if you're going to do it, make sure you do it well..' Later the influence of world music coming into Brazil very strongly are all part of my background of this endless journey that seems to be ever renewing since I started. This story never ends -- its only a new chapter on a daily basis, and I assume that this happens to all the musicians that are making the most of their gifts, given by our Maker God. Following over a Century of history of migration to Australia "...Arrivi ... Partenze" offers now a new reading of the migration phenomenon in XXI Century Australia. The dance-theatre piece "...Arrivi ... Partenze" intends to explore the issue of movement and its various meanings: necessary condition for the human being, expression form and communication medium; need of a group resulting in nomadism and migration. The multimedia performance incorporates the use of music, dance, acting, video projections and various other art forms. "...Arrivi ... Partenze" traces the path of the soul -- unchanged through the Centuries -- that the individual has to undergo whilst moving in a physical-geographical dimension during his migration process; the piece stages a variety of physical intersecting paths reflecting the complex empirical reality of our days. The sedentary condition which marks Western contemporary culture exists in sharp contrast with the nomadic nature of our ancestors as well as that of many contemporary ethnic groups. The pressure generated by lack of material resources which has forced many migrants to leave their native country is only one of the many components of the inner drives calling for an individual to become a "Wayfarer". In a reality driven by external pressures which make the "way faring" process ever more difficult in an inner sense, the physical-geographical wayfaring offers perhaps the only possible socially acceptable alternative. Improved means of transport and ever-changing communication technology have revolutionized the quality and speed of movement across continents. The physical aspects of this experience have been radically modified by today's technological progress and economic situation. Various visit modalities: initial, short and long term temporary and ultimately permanent stay; present the same issues for the individual, family, group and the whole community in a broader sense that migrants to Australia have faced in the XIX and XX Centuries. Shifting from the universal to a more specific dimension and following a path stemming from the analysis of the human being's nature "...Arrivi ... Partenze" offers now a new reading of the XXI Century migration phenomenon to Australia.
