About Hip Hop Duende
Stomp, clap, click, clap and tap!
Hip Hop Duende is Annalise Friend (or Slapsista) and Claudia Chambers. Two experienced performers, facilitators and teachers, they bring together artistic influences that range from spoken word and body percussion, to flamenco dance and funky box drum cajons. Their interactive shows, workshops, team building sessions and ice breakers share the magic (duende) of rhythm, movement, and spoken word.
Hip Hop Duende have performed at Viva la Gong and Feastability festivals and for schools such as Canberra Grammar, Northmead High, MLC School Sydney and Putland ETU. Claudia is a registered and trained Secondary Teacher (BA Dip Ed) and a Workplace Category 4 Trainer. Annalise holds a BCA/BA (Hons) in English Literatures and Creative Writing. They have both completed the Kalani Drum Circle Music (DCM™) Facilitator Training, and have been teaching rhythm and movement for many years. Between them Hip Hop Duende have performed with Greg Sheehan, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Luka Bloom, alongside Michael Franti and Spearhead, and at many poetry slams, festivals and private events.
A unique duo of Australian female rhythmatists, Hip Hop Duende express and inspire!
