Making Samba


Book Description

In November 1916, a young Afro-Brazilian musician named Donga registered sheet music for the song "Pelo telefone" ("On the Telephone") at the National Library in Rio de Janeiro. This apparently simple act—claiming ownership of a musical composition—set in motion a series of events that would shake Brazil's cultural landscape. Before the debut of "Pelo telephone," samba was a somewhat obscure term, but by the late 1920s, the wildly popular song had helped to make it synonymous with Brazilian national music. The success of "Pelo telephone" embroiled Donga in controversy. A group of musicians claimed that he had stolen their work, and a prominent journalist accused him of selling out his people in pursuit of profit and fame. Within this single episode are many of the concerns that animate Making Samba, including intellectual property claims, the Brazilian state, popular music, race, gender, national identity, and the history of Afro-Brazilians in Rio de Janeiro. By tracing the careers of Rio's pioneering black musicians from the late nineteenth century until the 1970s, Marc A. Hertzman revises the histories of samba and of Brazilian national culture.




Samba on drum set


Book Description

The purpose of this book is to develop coordination and reading ability using the language of samba. To play samba on a drum set is a challenge for all drummers. There is the physical difficulty of execution plus the necessity of special attention in order to coordinate the different sounds produced. Without refined coordination, the samba becomes 'rigid', lacking in swing and groove. Swing, or groove, is exactly the combination of fluidity with stability, and these two characteristics depend entirely on the precision between the various sounds being produced using both the hands and feet. Since the drum set, an instrument created in the USA, arrived in Brazil it's been used to play our favourite national rhythm, the samba. From a sound that was traditionally played by several percussionists, the way to play samba on the drum set was defined, allowing a single musician to perform several percussion instruments simultaneously. From this attempt to recreate what the percussion instruments played, a polyphonic language was developed, with the feet executing ostinatos.
