The wonderful thing about Brazilian rhythms like these is that you cannot play it without breaking out in a smile and happiness. Even though I am Thai I find the rhythms so lovable. Thanks for the wonderful video.
Thank you very much!These rhythms bring the sun into your heart.
I must say, as a brazilian, I feel very flattered with the way you guys teach, your professionalism and all the knowledge that you guys have about brazilian popular music. Matthias even pronounce portuguese words very nicely as well. It's nice to have the rhythims broken down and analyzed this way, cause when you live in Brazil you take the musical study a bit for granted. We develop a "feel" and dont study this in depth. You guys do the job of making it more democratic so that everyone can learn. If I can suggest that you guys put some examples of the rhythms that you taught with classic examples, maybe playing along with the instruments as well. Baião for instance is the rhythm of Asa Branca, which is a classic, maybe play along with this song, so that people can develop a better understanding of how everything sounds and improve their empathy towards the musical learning, which I find very effective for teaching purposes. Keep up the wonderful work you guys do!
Thank you very much! Matthias and I just came back from a very nice trip to Brazil. We love your country and your music!
as a boy born, grown and living in Pernambuco I am very happy to see the music from brazilian Northeast being spread around the world. great video, great teaching. Thank you
+Aakheperura Thank you! We love the music from Pernambuco.

I hope I didn't make a mistake! I didn't understand what the soft stick is called in portuguese and unfortunately I didn't get what was meant with the suffle feeling in xote :( Thanks for this awesome video, it's really helpful! :)
@@jensmueller7483 Thanks for the timestamps. The soft mallet is simply called baqueta (generic term for a drumstick), sometimes also maçaneta (a term also use for the door handle, go figure!)
That's an excellent explanation about the different beat patterns of zabumba and triangle in our lovely forró "made in Brazil"... ;-) Congratulations guys!
DAVI BARRETO DOS SANTOS Thank you so much, Davi! It was fun to make this video with Matthias!
Agree with Thalles. As a non-Brazilian, American, living in Japan ... most of the materials here are in Japanese, which I can't read. Your instructional style is top rate by any standard, including lessons I have paid good money for. Thank you.

Sabe muito mais de forró que muito brasileiro nato....
You know a lot more about forró than the Brazilian ...
That's an amazing video!
Thank you, Augusto! I'm glad you like it!
thanks for this lesson! what kind of skin do you use for zabumba?
5:40 ... 8:54 ... 12:17 ... 15:20 ... 19:10
Your pronunciation is very good. How long did you live in Brasil ?
Thank you! We didn't live in Brasil, but we visited Brasil very often.
Is there a translation of forró with some variations
for the cajon?!!
Not that I know, but it is not that difficult to make, I think.
🥰
Do you know what kind of forro the songs "Frevo Mulher" and "Gemedeira" by Amelinha?
Great Chanel!!
Congratulations
Frevo Mulher - in the version of Amelinha the rhythm instruments play Arrasta Pé, a rhythm that I explain in the video minute 17:00. In "Frevo Mulher" with Elba Ramalho, the Zabumbeiro plays Arrasta Pé as well. But actually the song is about Frevo, a music style from North East of Brazil, played in big street orchestras with lots of horns. The version of Banda Calypso for example is more in the Frevo-style, but also not traditional at all - it's more the "Axé"-style, the electrified versions of the traditional styles. "Gemedeira" is also played like an Arrasta Pé, or you could call it a "Galope". The Pattern for Zabumba is exactly like I explain in the video. Hope this could help you!
Matthias Haffner I had seen your explanation about Arrata Pé. It's hard to find material on such specific forró. Could you give me other examples of Arrasta Pé or Galope songs?
Arresta-pe 16:57
