- Hi, I'm Edu Ribeiro and welcome to Two Minute Jazz.
You know what that rhythm that I just played now
has in common?
Every rhythm was the same sub-division, in 16 notes,
and often this rhythm has the same time signature.
2/4.
And all of these rhythms was a Brazilian rhythm.
And that's something that people maybe don't know.
That if they are different rhythms you could
combine these rhythms, you could play
this rhythm in the same song with some parts
you play samba and a different part you play a baião
or in the same part of the music you play both.
And talking about the 16 notes,
if you play samba, that is the most common Brazilian rhythm
you have the pandero, the tambourine doing chika chika,
that I'm going to imitate with my right hand
or on hi-hat or on the cymbal.
And you have it.
If you have to play a baião you have the triangle
that goes: ticka ticka ticka.
That I'm going to try and imitate
with my hi-hat too.
If you're going to play a maracatu,
the snare drum does the 16 note all the time.
- And even if in the rhythm there is no instrument,
there is no percussion instrument playing out the 16 note,
the subdivision, the subdivision of the clave
will be in 16 notes,
as the afoxê from Bahia.

That is one thing that,
we're gonna practice together here.
The combination of this rhythm, Okay.

Happy practicing.
