Where does Samba music come from?
t is normally fast and has a fast beat and tempo. Actually samba can also be slow. What makes it sound different from other types of music is the specific samba swing. By this I mean not speed or enery or tightness, but the fact that half of the notes in a bar always fall slightly off the beat, in a very consistant pattern. The swing stays the same throughout all of the instruments and variations of patterns, and is held by the melody too. It is the swing that gives samba its addictive feel. The samba swing is not the same as Jazz or latin swing, which have different offbeats. The swing cannot be annotated by conventional means so you can't learn it by reading musical notation, but you can hear it clearly in samba recordings. It derives from the African origins of samba music, which grew out of a complex mix of African music, marches and the polka. There is some great historical material on Youtube - try looking up anything by Clara Nunes, or Cartola. The modern samba schools in Rio play a much faster samba with more emphasis on percussion - you can also find these well illustrated on youtube - search for "ensaio tecnico na avenida". This bateria samba is so fast you can hardly hear the swing but it's there - without it the music would just sound like a march. Not all Brazilian traditional music is samba, there are many other styles such as Maracatu and samba reggae which sound quite different, having a slightly different swing, different orchestration and a very different cultural tradition.

These instruments are used for samba. Other Brazilian styles of music such as Maracatu or Samba Reggae use some different instruments.Bateria samba (big percussion groups) use the followingMelodyCavaquinho - like a eukeleleGuitar - often a 7 string guitarMandolinBass sectionSurdo - big bass drums, holding the beat. There are usually 3 different sizes with different tuning to allow the band to create complex bass rhythms. Normally metal surdos are used for parades as they are sturdy, but wooden drums sound great on stage, especially with natural heads.Middle section -Caixa - these are the snare drums and are not the same as European snares, having a different arrangement of the snare and a much dryer sound (and they are lighter - should be made of aluminum so they can be carried easily)Repinique (Repique) - Kettle drum - used simply to support the beat, with a few soloists providing complex patterns and leading the band in and out of the musicAll these big drums are best made of aluminum.Percussion sectionTamborim (Pl. Tamborins) - a six inch circular frame drum with no jingles, hit by a flexible plastic stick, best made of metal and with a nylon headAgogo - a double metal cowbell with the 2 bells tuned differently and a flexible handle to allow the player to tap the bells togetherGanza - a cylindrical shakerChocalho - a large metal shaker with jingles - described by the Times of London as being "a cross between an abacus and a tambourine"Cuica - a hollow metal friction drum, with hide head holding a stick inside the drum which is rubbed by a damp cloth to produce a series of squeaks and groans.Other less common instruments include the Frigideira (musical frying pan), reco reco (metal scraper) Agogo de quatro (4 belled Agogo) Cymbals (hand held but only worth including if you have over 200 drummers), Pandeiro -(for visual effect as nobody can hear it)Small samba groups are different. Any mix of the instruments below is possible. The essential instruments are voice, cavaquinho and pandeiro.CavaquinhoGuitarPandeiro - looks like a tambourine; frame drum with jinglesTamborim - for small groups a wooden 6" tamborim with hide head is best, hit with a wooden stickTantan - bass drum held over the lap and played with one hand whilst the body is tapped with the other handRepinique de Mao - hollow metal drum with a nylon skin at one endAgogo (see above)Ganza (see above)Surdo - to hold the basic beat
What influence has Brazil had on samba?
Samba is a lively dance rhythm with a strong and characteristic. Originated from Africa and was brought to Bahia by slaves sent to work on sugar plantations. The dance gradually lost its ritualistic nature and eventually became the national dance of Brazil. At Carnival time in Rio de Janeiro samba to put the West on the map, the sugar plantations of Bahia traveled from villages to the River for the annual feasts. Gradually beat subtle nuance and interpretive samba took us up the street dancing in the cafes and possibly even in the halls dance, became the soul dances of Brazil.
What is the time signature of samba music?
The bottom number tells you the value of the beat. The top number tells you the number of "beats to the bar". In 3 - 4 time there are 3 crotchet (quarter note) beats to the bar. When the bottom number is 4 the beat is a quarter note, a crotchet. When the bottom number is 2 the beat is a half note, a minim.
