  • Jean-Christophe JACQUIN Born in 1966, Jean-Christophe Jacquin is recognised today as one of the most accomplished French sambists. He has studied samba percussion with Nicia Riba d'Avila, the musicologist who initiated the samba movement in France. Director of bateria with the Zum Zum group, as well as art director for the Bate Bombo bateria, he also directed 300 percussionists during the "Latitude Brésil" festival at La Villette, in Paris, commemorating Brazil's 500 years of existence. Director of the Jussieu University samba school, he also holds workshops at La Cité de la Musique, Paris. His teaching method is based on a know-how inherited from an oral tradition. Jean-Christophe Jacquin has participated in Rio's Carnival since 1990, with the following schools' baterias: Arranco, Portela and Imperatriz Leopoldinense. The latter, unique in Sambodromo's history, having been triple champion, in 1999, 2000 and 2001 successively.  • A tutorial method Jean-Christophe Jacquin presents the phrases and techniques of percussion played by the baterias in the most important samba schools during the Rio carnival parade.
