Hi, I'm Edu Ribeiro and welcome to Two Minute Jazz. You know what
those rhythms that I just played now have in common? Every rhythm
was the same sub-division, in 16 notes, and often this rhythm has
the same time signature: 2/4. And all of these rhythms were
Brazilian rhythms. And that's something that people maybe don't
know. That if they are different rhythms, you could combine these
rhythms. You could play this rhythm in the same song, and with
some parts you play samba and a different part you play a baião,
or in the same part of the music you play both.


And talking about the 16 notes, if you play samba, that is the
most common Brazilian rhythm. You have the pandero, the
tambourine doing chika chika, that I'm going to imitate with my
right hand or on the hi-hat or on the cymbal.


If you have to play a baião, you have the triangle that goes:
ticka ticka ticka. That I'm going to try and imitate with my
hi-hat too.


If you're going to play a maracatu, the snare drum does the 16
note all the time.


And even if in the rhythm there is no percussion instrument
playing out the 16 note, the subdivision of the clave will be in
16 notes, as in the afoxê from Bahia.


That is one thing that we're gonna practice together here, the
combination of this rhythm.


Happy practicing.
