The Rhythmic Language of Brazilian Music

A video workshop

In these days where the attention span of most folks lasts for 10 seconds or less, it is surprising to me that one of the most watched videos (26k views) on my YouTube channel is this lecture I gave at Berklee College of Music in Boston in 2007. It lasts for 90 minutes, and apparently folks enjoy it. I am playing with Berklee professors Oscar Stagnaro on bass and Mark Walker on drums. This was a spontaneous presentation, without any preconceived plan. I am sharing it with you here:

This is a basic introduction to the rhythmic layers found in the music of Brazil.

I hope you will enjoy it… Let me know!

Obrigado,

Jovino
