Rhythms and Brazilian Music

After last nights class I thought it would be useful to put together some links to information about the rhythms and music we played.

Mac provided some useful recordings a while ago and I still have them available online. These included the Angola and Regional rhythms and a few others. You can listen to them at:

Capoeira Rhythms

Here is something about the Music of Brazil from Wikipedia.

Also here is some information about the history of Samba Reggae from Wikipedia.

Bloco
I found this description of Bloco on the web site KINETIKA

The term 'Bloco' originates in Salvador in the Northeast of Brazil. They arose as part of a black consciousness movement inspired, in part, by Gandhi, the South African struggle against apartheid, Martin Luther King and Bob Marley. They are usually a part of a bigger social organisation that dedicates itself to the betterment and care of people in a community. Running also child-care and education programmes, self-help schemes, youth-work, health care and so on. The Bloco is a way of attracting attention, and some money, into the community. The most famous of these groups are 'Ile Aiye', 'Olodum' and 'Timbalada'.

If you have anything else to add please post your comments here.
