Brazilian Music on the Web
Brazilian music is
full of passion, of sentiment, of joy. It is the result of a long simmering mix of heritage from AmerIndian, Portuguese and African sources meeting global influences to create a magical,
mystical music. Yet it is the constant search for new forms within Brazil's diverse
musical heritage that most captivates us and influences musicians around the world.
Wherever you go in Brazil there is always the music. Whether it is the
poly rhythms
from percussion instruments at a street corner or a sophisticated discussion of the
current year's Carnival songs, the culture shares a common inspiration through their
music.

A roda will usually commence with a ladainha (litany).
These songs may be improvised on the spot, but are often famous songs written by an earlier mestre. After the ladainha has been sung, the same singer will usually sing the chulas. The chorus repeats each line of the chula after it has been sung. Finally, corridos will be sung while the game is playing. In most rodas anyone can sing a corrido, though most often they will be sung by the members of the group playing instruments, the bateria. Choro (Chorinho)

Maracatu (Maracatu nação/Maracatu rural)
Today there are around 20 nações operating in the cities of Recife and Olinda. Although one or two have an unbroken line of activity going back to the 1800’s, most have been set up in recent decades. Each year they perform during the Carnival period in Recife and Olinda. Maracatu Nação Pernambuco, while not a traditional maracatu, was primarily responsible for introducing the genre to overseas audiences in the 1990s. Maracatu rural is also known as maracatu de baque solto, maracatu de orquestra, and maracatu de trombone. It is rooted in the Pernambucan interior and evolved in the early 20th century as a fusion of pre-existing forms of Carnival revelry. It is considered to be Afro-indigenous in origin. Its members, typically sugarcane workers, are involved with the native-influenced Catimbó religion. Maracatu rural has a high participation rate with dozens of groups operating all over the state. |
