Jazz for aficionados
That album is totally new to me, but as good as it sounds, I have so much of Getz doing the same thing that I would not be able to justify buying that album; they sound too much alike doing the Bosa Nova but I'm glad you made me aware of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KpIV57PSeo |
This is a mellow groove; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4miRO1NMaP4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgS16Ipnr2E Sometime ago, I asked a professional musician who was a friend of mine, who his current favorite musician was, and he replied Baden Powell. I didn't even know who Baden Powell was at that time; has since been well corrected. |
According to Wikipedia; The berimbau (Portuguese pronunciation: [beɾĩˈbaw]) is a single-string percussion instrument, a musical bow, from Brazil. Originally from Africa where it receives different names, the berimbau was eventually incorporated into the practice of the Afro-Brazilian martial art capoeira, the berimbau (the soul of capoeira) leads the capoeiristas movement in the roda—the faster the berimbau is playing the faster the capoeirista moves in the game. The instrument is known for being the subject matter of a popular song by Brazilian guitarist Baden Powell, with lyrics by Vinicius de Moraes. The instrument is also a part of Candomblé-de-caboclo tradition. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkZPiZ59lME While I'm truly fascinated by the rhythms and dance, I have no interest in the religion other than what part of Africa it came from. Each one of these religions from Africa has it's own peculiar rhythms. How they have survived intact over hundreds of years under unique circumstances is a mystery. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZ1lGjziHyk |
