African Rhythms in Latin American Music

[Harleen99Kaur]

im listening to this 4 homework lol

[emmacarmenrevai]

the first song played I think is called ”Manhã de Carnaval" ("Morning of Carnival"). I personally adore it

[TiqueO6]

really nice playing and very clearly put .

I don't know of the musical level or interests of the audience but if it was a more advanced music class I one would expect to hear about the highly influential, on Brazilian music, rhythm called Partido Alto.

He, as well as most people who play this music, was playing the rhythm constantly in these pieces and it's what provided the syncopation in a 2-bar or 2-phrase pattern. a strong accent after the downbeat.

Look it up! You'll hear it everywhere.

boring...... yawn

[harrison0723]

What a nice piece

[harrison0723]

Anybody know how to spell the instrument he's talking about at 17:30 ?

Also, does anyone know how to spell the composer's name at 17:50 ?

[GMCAMUSICTV]

Great video here

[BGuitarNeuss]

great !

[dombinii]

mexican black uniteds and .

[dariouru]

if blacks had not existed, neither would the music, this is incredible

[SebastienLoong]

Gorgeous (:

[sheikhers]

I have to agree with @americanojoel - Latin America is always too broad a name to describe the music of South America, the music always seems to get buried under all the cuban and puerto rican music that's so popular!

[NavinJohnson90]

This is awesome, we just played Black Orpheus in jazz band, and it's really cool to hear it on classical guitar.

[DarkAngelrace]

Either way, blacks are inferior all over Latin America. :)

[rotcehb]

@DarkAngelrace why u say that? you have been in there to say that?

[DarkAngelrace]

@rotcehb Yes I have. My parents were born in Mexico. I mean blacks are a well discriminated group.

[rotcehb]

@DarkAngelrace well a shame for u... but i can't say that ALL are discriminated... cause' im from Venezuela and i tell you to find black discrimination it's so difficult

[dariouru]

@DarkAngelrace I think you're jealous that a black man can do something that you can not do

[MDefsquad9]

@DarkAngelrace the word inferior might be a little too harsh and incorrect .Blacks are not inferior to any race ..lets just say most of Latin America or anywhere thats non-black hates Blacks or opress them look down on them..haha

[yoyodunno]

really awesome stuff, i love spanish influences classical music and spanish guitar. sounds like some of the same chords that some metal genres use too.

[oevega]

Why "Latin American" and not straight Brazilian?

Latin America's guitar playing has roots in Spain; not Africa.

[mistybonny]

really iteresting

[iseetherainbowrising]

[robbrown2001us]

good class on brazilian rhythms. i was expecting more latinamerican rhythms though!

[fragacontact]

@robbrown2001us Brazil is Latin America



[oRuTRa45]

Not to be a critic, but if he's gonna play Brazilian music he's gotta play with more "suingue". Other than that, his playing sounds good. I dig classical guitar.

[soma2uk]

Very Informative presentation! Cheers!

[rich9643]

fenomenal

[Rogeetar]

Real nice intro to Brazilian rhythms on guitar. Well played. Stumbled on it by accident looking for Mambo music.

[howardadler1512]

Hey, I upload this video, you can download it at tinyurl (dot) com/video29 You can put that on your ipod or whatever...

Haha, yeah #2 was cool 2. She had a lot of personality. #1 was a cutie, but so young looking and? acting. I don't think Mike was thrilled with his choice either, but what could he do at that point? lol.

[Pardsru]

virtuosic bravo!

[m8kzardoz]

the movie is black orpheus or orfeu negro (1959), and the melody is the samba de orfeu

i think its composed by luiz bonfa but it might be antonio carlos jobim

[LeonRojinegro]

You're right about the soundtrack, but the first melody is not Samba de Orfeo, it is Manha de Carnaval.

[MisterDavis33]

Black orpheus melody is composed by luiz bonfa, and he was guitarist too..

i found some videos of him playing his tune...he was a very musical guitarist

[fierrosoft]

hes oxaco's descendant

[virtudtierra]

ya quisiera yo tocar guitarra así.. es espectacular!

[ninjaboj]

[MizzCorbeau]

Great!

[ArmanMoo]

good video

[1019drummer]

nice........good post

[indiegabe]

reminds you of jose gonzales.

[VanillaCookies18]

thats so good

[americanojoel]

This video is horribly mis-named. While the lecture is interesting, and the musician is clearly talented, the subject should more appropriatly be titled "African influences on South American Guitar" or perhaps, "African Influences on Brazilian Music". "Latin American Music", for most of the world, is a much broader category.

[aybarra316]

@americanojoel

Hello There. My name is Tony Ybarra and I am the guitarist playing in this video. I did not know they put this up there and you are right...it is misnamed. This video was sprung on me that day. I thought I was going to play a few tunes for this class and that was it. I found out that day it was going to be taped etc. So I was not that prepared. Thanks for the compliment but you are right, needs a different name.

[luciferiexcelsil]

@americanojoel It's a good title... almost all nations in Latin America have African influences...

technically this music is a mix of European, Native American and African music.

[Myoungejoe]

@americanojoel

He is mostly right because he's talking about how African syncopation influenced not only Jazz but most "non-classical" music. He even mentions that Latin Americans tried to emulate the syncopation that they heard in Jazz music... I would assume he knows what hes talking about since he's an expert who has been studying various styles of music for a long time. Unless UCSB just picked some bum off the street to lecture their students which I highly doubt.

[buddha8910]

cool

[mrandretti]

I love this pieace. would someone be kind enought to tell me who's the compose and what's the formal name of the song?

Thanks UCtv for posting this excellent video

greetings.

Andres

[guitarrasco]

OOPs, sorry for mis statement. I was thinking of another player from San Diego, nevertheless, this guitarist is great and I love his sound and heart for the music.

[guitarrasco]

Excellent, thank you for posting. This cat is also a great Jazz / Funk electric guitar player, saw him in San Diego.
