  • This is not Samba, this is called "Maracatu"

  • hahaha yeah babe im from brazil

    

  • Great! Can anyone recommend any great albums/musicians that use the Maracatu style rhythm?

  • @thetravelmap look for mestre barrao music is pretty good

  • This is not " samba",this is "Maracatu", an Afro-Brazilian rhythm that you can only found it in Pernambuco State.

  • This is a 6/8 bar rythm, nothing to do with samba which is 2X 2/4 bar rythm. It's closer to actually african rythms.

  • Isso nao pode ser chamado "Samba" ta mais para um Afro-Maracatu. Muito bom eletrizante. Isso me faz lembrar que carnaval nao e so no Rio ou Bahia. Olinda deve ser radiante com esse som das Alfaias e um complemento do ritmo Afro!

  • Thats hot shit, whatever you call it. Hard to sit still listening to that!

  • This is more like maracatu than samba...

  • @Feabel . The drums are alfaias, maracatu's drums, but the rythm is a 6/8 bar one, when maracatu is a 4/4 bar rythm. Then this is an afro-brasilian rythm played with a maracatu's drum set. See Veganjo...

  • You would have to be little dead inside if this music does not stir you .

    Gorgeous stuff !

  • Whatever you call it it sounds good.

  • So it's Afro-Brazilian and can't really be classified or given an identifying name. (I love it anyway)

  • No, unfortunately, it can't. The endless creativity of the "mestres de bateria" in Brazil (and Brazilian precussionists in general) create these "hybrid/symbiotic" new blending patterns everyday. For instance, the agogô pattern is an variation of what you hear in Maculelê. The same happens with the "levada de Timbal" which is not a traditional instrument in that form. But how could one call it even a modern variation of Maculelê if you have a totally "new to the form" series of Alfaia patterns?

  • Samba???? This is just one of many Afro-Brazilian rhythms, here adapted for a Maracatú ensemble.

  • Pernambuco is the region. How would you describe the rhythm?

  • Its not samba...Its a group of percussion of Pernambuco - Brasil.
