Application of Samba do Angola from Northern Brazil
This lesson focuses on a very
common rhythm and one of its variations. This first rhythm is found all over the
planet. From New Orleans to Helsinki, from Amsterdam to Sao Paolo, from Los
Angeles to Johannesburg, you can hear this rhythm being played. It¼s found in
the Carnaval of Santiago, Cuba and in the Carnaval of Recife, Brasil. And you¼ll
hear it on radio and TV. Very popular.
This next rhythm is a slight variation of the first, the variation coming in beats 3 and 4 of each measure. I first heard this rhythm on some CDs by the wonderful Brasilian singer Daniela Mercury. I¼ve heard it called Samba do Angola. It¼s a wonderful variation, accomplished by shifting one sixteenth note from the original rhythm.
