Dance lessons - Show with dancers in Carnaval costumes - .
Chicago Samba has been playing for over 20 years! I first learned Samba from
this group. In Chicago there are over 100,000 Brazilian-Americans and they have
supported this group over the years.
Chicago Samba plays the following styles (I anticipate Batucada mixed with other
styles because it is a Carnaval party):
* Samba, the energetic national rhythm of Brazil
* Bossa Nova, a laid-back, seductive sound that merges jazzy melodies with the
essence of the Samba beat (popularized by Antonio Carlos Jobim and songs like
"The Girl from Ipanema")
* Pagode, a funky Rio "party music" sound
* Batucada, an exciting, all-percussive jam session that brings any audience to
its feet to dance along with the group - just like carnaval in Rio de Janeiro
* Brazilian Jazz, under the influence of American Jazz, this the newest style of
world music
* Olodum, an rhythm-heavy, Afro-Brazilian sound tinged with reggae (popularized
by Olodum)
* Forro, a lively syncopated sound from the rural northeastern Brazil
* Chorinho, a richly melodic sound driven by string instruments like guitar,
flute & cavaquinho
I also would like to warn you that this would be a great date but there will be
some of the most beautiful women in Chicago at this party.
I hope to see you there and feel free to ask any questions.
Jerry
