Is There More Than One Kind of Samba Swing?

#lesson #drums #swing #samba
In this video, Philip Galinsky poses the question: Is there more than one kind of "swing" in the samba? To explore this subject, he juxtaposes two different approaches to getting the swing - that is, two different ways of phrasing the subdivisions of the beat - which he refers to as A and B.
Special thanks to Ago Pisztora of Timbeleza and David Walter of Olá Samba for the new ideas and inspiration.

Really interesting to see it broken down like this.

[@LearnToPlaySamba]

@@MusicByTomas Thanks, Tomas!🙏😊

I hear the carreteiro rhythm in cavaquinho patterns too, though they often seem to turn it up and down as they please.

[@LearnToPlaySamba]

Yes, I agree. In samba, the cavaquinho player typically plays the samba time-line pattern or partido-alto (there are many versions of each), often filling in the empty spaces with non-accented notes. In effect, this makes a kind of carreteiro rhythm, though of course the accents are not the same as the typical carreteiro (which emphasizes the first and fourth subdivisions of each beat). Thanks for your observation!
