About the rhythm

Wikipedia says "The baião is a Northeast [of Brazil] rhythmic formula that became the basis of a wide range of music. Forró, côco, and embolada are clear examples." There are lots of links from that article.

Sounds

Pierre's recordings from Mona-Lynn's workshop. Note that she taught us the 2nd tamborim part with the extra first note, to make it easier. We've managed to drop that one since the workshop - see Tamborim pattern #2 below.
