Gio Israel Brazilian Essentials - Samba!

Samba stands as more than just a musical genre. Rooted in Afro-Brazilian traditions, Samba represents resilience, community, and celebration.

At its core, Samba is characterized by its infectious beats and syncopated rhythms, often driven by percussion instruments such as the surdo (a large bass drum), tamborim (a small hand drum), pandeiro (a type of tambourine), and agogô (a double bell). These instruments come together to create intricate polyrhythms that provide the backbone of Samba music.

Dive into the pulsating rhythms of Brazil with our "Samba!" pack, a vibrant celebration of percussive mastery and cultural richness. Recorded in collaboration with percussion master Joca Perpignan, this collection showcases the infectious energy of Samba music, infused with the soulful melodies of Saleet Lahav's flutes and the rhythmic drive of Daniel Ring's Cavaquinho strings. Immerse yourself in the authentic sounds of Rio's Carnival with live field recordings, capturing the essence of this dynamic musical tradition.
