A focused workshop for drummers and percussionists looking to deepen their understanding of two cornerstone Brazilian rhythms. By comparing samba (from Rio de Janeiro) and maracatú (from Pernambuco in Brazil’s Northeast), we gain a clearer sense of each tradition — musically, rhythmically, and culturally — and what it takes to play them with authenticity and confidence.You will:
Learn the traditional forms and instruments for each style
Identify key rhythmic differences and shared roots
Explore cultural context and performance practice
Adapt both rhythms for drum set application
This session bridges tradition and practice, giving you tools to recognize, speak, and play these grooves with greater clarity and authority.
