The Twelfth Case of the Brazilian Tag Team
Brothers and sister in this cult of music love... today we are joined again by DJ Brother Charlie, bringing his ridiculously deep crates of Brazilian vinyl. Our theme today: samba.
Samba is omnipresent in Brazilian music. Although some samba obviously falls into an exclusive genre category, there is so much music in Brazil that can be described as samba; it might be more accurately described as a time signature (like ska) than a musical genre. You will hear the term samba thrown around for everything from Bossa Nova to Tropicalia to elevator music, as long as it follows the traditional 2/4 signature.
But true genre samba has some other identifying characteristics... there is often a call-response structure to the lyrics using a soloist and a chorus. There is also the common use of the cavaquinho, a small guitar with a sound closer to a mandolin.
DJ Brother Charlie and I will be all over that samba map on today's show. My early set will focus on some early samba sounds today, with plenty old-timey charm. He will do his thing in hour two. Enjoy the auditory sunshine.
