Not got the one in 7 anymore I don't think... but it was an arrangement of a piece called Misturada by a Brazilian guy called Airto Moreira (I think that's how you spell it!). I'm actually one of those annoying people known to take away a sheet every week and lose it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

Hey flute girl thought you were local. There's a samba band from one of the local high schools that plays at our local Rugby club! Noticed you were at the other end of the A580.

Hi, TSax I was just looking at the link and 2 of my friends played with them in a festival in London a couple of years back. Apparently it was ace. If only I'd have started samba earlier (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

My kids went to a free samba workshop in half term and really liked it, the surdo drums were very heavy for them !! they also did Djembe and preferred that to Samba. I think they need to listen to more Samba music before they get the idea.

Samba is a dance and a form of music. I think it originated in Brazil. It's very percussive and often full of underlying sub-rhythms. That's about all I know.

I love Samba music and actually playing it ! We had a Smaba workshop at school a few months back and I loved it so much. Me and my freind were told that after the workshop we could play trumpet in it, but then nothing else ever happened about it so we were utterly dissappointed ! Would love to still play in one now though just don't think there is one near me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
