Samba

Good view of fancy tamborim and relentless surdo on Brazilian carnival. Lots of carnival atmosphere Carnival  and more tamborim, including ‘South Afric…’ at 2.15. Samba Enredo several rhythms including samba reggae.

Details of how to join the London School of Samba or the Paraiso school of samba

Watch bits of the film Black Orpheus for samba: 4.00-4.30, 3.30-6.00. And the  track Manha de Carnival from this film demonstrating the morphing of Samba to the slower Bossa Nova feel.

The Gal Costa is the O Orvalho song in the key of the music attached. 

Plus simple arrangement plus original with a clarinet.

 
Alcione here is singing a samba song with some kind of accordion?
Finally, Caetano Veloso is playing at the Barbican this month, and here is performing with Gal Costa. Listen to Gal's entry at 1.10.
