-: Hi, my name is Eduardo Mendonça.
I'm very happy to be here with you today.
I'm sharing the most popular Brazilian rhythm,
it's called Samba.
And to learn a basic part of the Samba,
we just need something very easy.
I'm using two
cooking pans, okay?
And I'm gonna be calling the cooking pans by numbers,
I'm gonna be call this one here my left,
that's gonna be your right.
You're gonna be my mirror.
And this one here gonna be my right,
gonna be your left, I gonna be called the number two.
Because I need a little bit more muffled sound
than kind of the open one,
I will be using
a paper towel
to muffle this a little bit.
(beats on pots)
I probably want to have it a little lower
on my right.
My right will be your left, okay?
It probably needs that.
(drums beat)
Yeah, that's the number one, and that's the number two.
And it's very, very, very, very simple.
They're gonna be keeping the number one and two
on the beat one and two, like this.
One, two,
one two,
one, two...
(continues beat)
Easy, like.
But Samba has one very special element,
which is the call and the response.
And we're gonna start actually doing these
as the intro, the intro.
The main drums will play something like this.
(raps out rhythm)
I'll try again.
(raps out rhythm)
Kay, let's listen one more time.
(raps out rhythm)
Beautiful.
When I say, "go," you're gonna do it with me.
Kay, one, two, three, go.
(raps out rhythm)
Yes!
Let's try again.
If you make any mistake, that's fine.
We can try over and over again.
That's fine to make mistakes.
Okay, have to keep trying.
Let's keep it working again.
Let's do after me, okay, here you go.
(raps out rhythm)
One, two, three, your turn.
Yes!
Okay, how about if we do it together.
Here we go one, two, three, here you go.
(raps out rhythm)
Oh, hah! (laughs)
I knew we could do that together.
This time, we gonna learn how to do the response.
When you go for the part you just learned,
(raps out rhythm)
(hits pans twice)
and then we hit your pot drums,
let's call our cooking-ware
pans, okay, drums.
And let's say (raps out rhythm)
boom, boom.
You see the response?
That's the response.
Okay, let's try again.
One, two, one, here you go.
(raps out rhythm)
(hits pots twice)
Yes!
Okay, we did it, right?
And then, now, because that's the intro, the introduction,
we gonna start to repeat.
Kay, right after (raps out rhythm)
boom, boom.
One, two, one, two, one, two, one, two.
Okay?
Let's try that.
Let's try the intro, or the call,
and we will do, we start our beat one and two.
One, two, and go.
(raps out rhythm)
Boom boom, one, two, one, two,
one, two, one two...
(continues beat)
Yes, yes!
(laughs) You can do a little move as well;
can do a little dance if you like.
That's all good.
Now let's talk about the outro
The outro, the way you finish
and the way you go out of the rhythm,
you're gonna do the same thing.
(raps a rhythm)
Boom, boom.
The only difference is when we gonna do the outro,
I gonna do the call while you play.
You're still on your one and two, right.
(bangs pots)
And they're gonna be called the outro,
and then you keep playing.
(raps out rhythm)
One, two.
Got it?
Yeah?
Yes.
So you see the difference?
At the beginning, nobody's playing.
(raps out rhythm)
Boom, boom.
Right?
And then we start the rhythm.
Let's do it again.
(raps out rhythm)
Boom, boom, one, two, one, two, yes.
And then for the outro,
you're gonna be already the beat.
(bangs pots)
And then do the call out.
(raps out rhythm)
Yes!
So now we have the intro, we have the one-two
as the body of the rhythm, as a power frame of the rhythm,
and you have the outro.
Let's do it: the intro, the rhythm, and the outro.
Are you guys ready?
Here you go.
(raps out rhythm)
Boom boom, one, two, one, two, one, two, one, two...
(continues beat)
Here's coming the outro.
(raps out rhythm)
Yes.
Now I would love to have you doing the intro with me.
Okay, I'm gonna be call one, two, one, go.
(raps out rhythm)
Boom, boom.
Got it?
So you can do it, yes.
Let's do it together.
The intro we do together and then the outro.
Are you counting, and you're gonna be stop the outro
and the parts that you already know.
Here you go.
Intro: let's do it together.
One, two, one, here you go.
(raps out rhythm)
Oops, you know what I did?
How I explained together here, right?
Yes, so you know it's that.
I will not doing this.
I'm gonna be only do the call
and then the response here for the intro.
Let's do again.
Because that's okay to make mistake.
I just made one.
Here you go.
One, two, one, here you go.
(raps out rhythm)
Boom boom, one, two, one, yeah!
(continues beat)
Like keep going, one and two,
beautiful, yeah.
How about do a dance, you move.
Don't forget to smile.
(continues beat)
(raps out rhythm)
Whoa, we got it!
We need a little bit more spice, right?
The spice will be a break that gonna be doing this break.
And the middle of my rhythm.
Let me call this break one-to-four, okay?
One-to-four.
The break goes like this:
one,
one, two,
one, two, three,
one, two, three, four.
That's it!
Let me count it again.
One,
one, two,
one, two, three,
one, two, three, four.
That's one more time, here we go.
One, two, three, here we go.
One, and wait for two
one, two, and wait for three,
one, two, three, and now go to four,
one, two, three, four.
Beautiful.
Now I'm gonna be counting and you will count.
I'm gonna show on my fingers the numbers
and as well, the tempo and the breaks
that you have to do between the numbers.
Kay, now it's your turn.
One, two, three, here you go!
And wait for two.
And wait for three.
And wait for four.
Wow, yes!
Let's do it again.
Now we're gonna be join you.
I'm jealous, I wanna do that with you.
Here you go; one, two, three, here you go!
One, and wait for two.
One, two, and wait for three.
One, two, three, and wait for four.
One, two, three, four.
How 'bout let's do that in the drums.
Here you go; one, two, one, here you go.
One, and wait for two.
One, two, and wait for three.
One, two, three, and wait for four.
One, two, three, four.
Beautiful!
So, now, how that work is going to respond.
First, I'm gonna do the count one-to-four,
and then you're gonna be responding twice the same thing.
Got it?
Don't worry if you didn't because we gonna try it right now,
and you gonna be understanding what I'm talking about.
I called first time, and then you do twice the same thing.
Okay, now my turn, okay?
Listen up.
One.
Me.
One, two.
One, two, three.
One, two, three, four.
Now you with me.
One, and go for two.
One, two, and wait for three.
One, two, three, and wait for four.
One, two, three, four.
Once again!
One, and wait for two.
One, two, and wait for three.
One, two, three, and wait for four.
One, two, three, four.
Yes!
Okay, hah!
Are you having fun?
Yeah!
So now what we're gonna do is, let's start with the beat:
one and two.
And then gonna do the call and four for the break,
and you guys keep playing, okay.
Play.
It's the same thing we did with the outro, remember?
You keeping doing your beat
until your time to respond one-to-four.
How many times?
Yes, twice.
You got it.
Here you go.
One, two, three, here you go.
One, two, one, two.
And you keep playing because right now I'm gonna start you
with my break
while you keep playing.
Play through, okay?
(continues beat)
Here you go.
One.
One, two.
One, two, three.
One, two, three, four.
Now, one and wait for two.
One, two, and wait for three.
One, two, three, and wait for four.
One, two, three, four.
Once again, remember.
One, and wait for two.
One, two, and wait for three.
One, two, three, and now for four.
One, two, three, four.
Yes!
Okay, we did it.
Let's now--
Remember, when you do the one-to-four,
this one-to-four
can be also the outro.
If I don't say again, (raps out rhythm), boom boom.
That means start over, right?
But if I don't say anything after the
"one, two, three, four," that means
the outro's right there.
So we have the option to have the outro
or in the breaking, the four, or the outro
in the way you learned before.
So let's do whole thing.
Have the intro,
the rhythm with the one-four break,
into the outro.
Let's do that.
Yeah.
After you do the four, it gonna be feel
how we gonna be bringing back in again.
Here you go.

ta, ta, ta, ta.
Now your turn!
Ba, and wait for two.
One, two, and wait for three.
One, two, three, and wait for four.
One, two, three, four.
Again, remember.
One, and wait for two.
One, two, and wait for three.
One, two, three, and last four.
One, two, three four.
I bring you again.
(raps out rhythm)
Boom, boom, one, two, one, two, one, two, one, two,
