? Bayou X 
From Langdon NH &amp; Brattleboro VT, Bayou X is southern VT/NH area’s signature high energy Cajun/Creole dance band, performing both original and traditional Cajun &amp; Zydeco dance music of southwest Louisiana, as well as original and traditional music derived from the global Afro-Creole diaspora, including New Orleans classic R&amp;B, popular and folkloric tunes from Haiti, the Antilles, Africa, and an ever evolving variety of "southern" roots music genres.

Bayou X is led by New Orleans native, Peter Simoneaux on fiddle and vocals, with spouse &amp; partner Linda Simoneaux on various accordions, fiddle and vocals. Other core members of the band, include Steve Frankel on electric bass, Bob Everingham on electric guitar, and Josh Francis on drums, as well as a diverse list of area collaborators on percussion, brass and reed instruments.

Bayou X plays driving, contemporary Cajun &amp; Creole dance music, reflecting the full history of Louisiana French music, from classic Cajun 2-steps and waltzes, to old-time country music, the blues, zydeco, swamp pop, jazz, New Orleans R&amp;B and Mardi Gras standards, and a whole panoply of pan-African and Caribbean musical genres. While Bayou X maintains a deep book of time tested tunes, its focus is increasingly on original music in a all the above referenced genres… and then some!

? SambaGanza
SambaGanza is the official Samba ensemble of the Vermont Jazz Center. This project has evolved over years of interest among a community of musicians, in building an ongoing Samba "school" in southern VT. Under the joint directorship of percussionist and composer Julian Gerstin, and Bread &amp; Puppet music director emeritus &amp; saxophonist Ron Kelley, SambaGanza is currently organized as one of the Vermont Jazz Center's many ongoing genre workshops. It is open to the public, via Fall &amp; Spring semester registrations, and it also functions during the summer on an ad hoc basis, and is available to perform in public throughout the year, as well as in the VJC'S Fall &amp; Spring Student recitals.

In Brazil, Samba schools are community organizations, where everyone comes together to learn and perform all the various and distinctive instruments that go into a samba ensemble: the Surdos (bass drums), typically one low and one high, laying down the foundational rhythms; the high pitched, double chambered Agogo Bells with their signature "ting ting, tong tong" vocabularies; the small hand held Tamborims, half the size of a tambourine and without the jingles, and yet, much louder than a tambourine, played with a stick, typically in clave rhythm or on the upbeats. The Reco-reco shaker, a single or double barreled cylinder filled with pebbles, rice, beans, or gunshot. The Cuica, a tension drum that makes sounds like a barking or whining dog. The snare drum, known in Brazil as "Caixa." And the Repinique, a snare drum typically played by the ensemble leader, for the function of calling out the various percussion breaks and compositional movements in the music.
