Old Brasil - 01/01/12 04:37 AM
The music of Old Brasil. Brasilian Roots!
Samba and choro, Brasilian-style and not North American-jazz style.
Samba-cançao! Slow and langquid
Samba at various tempi, slow and fast. Straight and reverse. With 8-bar partido alto patterns in the B sections.
Marisa Monte, Paulinho da Viola, Cartola.
Choro at various tempi, emotional, passionate, not like a ragtime hurdy-gurdy.
Choro waltz, sensual with a big emphasis on the 2 and a drag on the 3.
Pixinguinha, Jacob do Bandolim, Luciana Rabello, Mauricio Carrilho.
And with Brasilian instruments, 7-string guitar with nylon strings, cavaquinho (steel-string ukulele), pandeiro (the indoor equivalent of the drum kit), bandolim, clarinet, surdo!
You've got a lot of jazz-inflected bossa. How about some of the music of old Brasil? Some real global flavor! A bit of the real thing.
Thanks.
