[@anujnagarajan9628]

I love your videos, they always help me better understand Brazilian music way better since they aren't too many people here in Canada that listen to Brazilian music or play it (authentically) and I honestly prefer learning directly from your videos rather than sheet music. Keep up the great work, muito obrigado

[@RobsongsMusic]

Wow! I'm so grateful to read those words . I'm so happy that I can also help people to understand a little bit more about Brazilian music. Thank you so much for your comment! I'll keep working hard here! See you!

[@studioloraine]

thank you for making these videos. i love folks like jorge ben jor, milton nascimento and tom zé. i’m curious where tropicalismo fits into the styles you’re talking about and what defines it

[@RobsongsMusic]

That's a great topic! Tropicalismo is from the late 60s and names like Tom Zé, Jorge Ben, Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil and Os Mutantes are part of it. They are so important not only to the Brazilian music but Brazilian culture in general. It deserves a video exclusively for it to dive into details. But other than Jorge Ben, I recorded songs by Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso on the channel where I explain more things about them. Here are two of them 👇 Sampa: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJ-taZ2Hftt-fdU Refazenda: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioiWnWquntt5r80

Hi! I don't know any specific video to ukulele, but I think you could apply "cavaquinho"'s rhythms on ukulele. It would be a nice way to adapt samba rhythms to ukulele.

[@nicolaslecras6974]

I learn both the chords from this video and your other video on mas que nada. I think about the 3rd part of the song in this video you play a chord instead of the Eb9 from your other video, and you play another chord (looks like Fm9) instead of the Abmaj7 of the other video. Could you please explain how possible its sound amazing together and how we can learn how to do that ? It is looks amazing to me :O Thank you for your great videos !

[@RobsongsMusic]

That’s a really good question! :) In both videos, the harmonies work well in terms of functions! For example, in this video, in the third part I’m playing a “C7” before “Fm” (V - i harmonic minor). In the other video I’m playing “Eb9” instead (VII - i natural minor). Even though both of them come from different scales (harmonic/natural), both prepare “Fm” chord in terms of function. In this video I’m played the harmony in my way. I mixed the versions that I had heard before and created this. In the other video I’m playing the version of Sergio Mendes and The Black Eyed Peas specifically. Thank you for comment!

[@Tutuco06]

what were the notes you played in the beginning before the chords?

[@RobsongsMusic]

Hey Marcello Costa! Do you mean the intro? If so, it was something I created inspired by the version of Sergio Mendes and The Black Eyed Peas. I recorded a video teaching how to play that. You can check it out ;) kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6XEqmSwpr11gLc

[@brianmi40]

Great lesson here, but technically, shouldn't it be 1234 -234? The 1 of the second set of 4 is silent...

[@RobsongsMusic]

Hi! Thanks for your comment! Well, this is a way to understand the rhythm by using two groups of numbers (one with 1234 and another one with 123). They are not necessarily related to musical figures. When you relate those rhythms to beats or measure (in the case of samba 2/4) you can see pauses, but after the pauses it will still be the first number of that group. It's an attempt of understanding those rhythms intuitively! Does it make sense for you?

[@brianmi40]

@@RobsongsMusic Sure, it would just make more logical sense to indicate visually that you are skipping playing the "1" beat... right?

[@RobsongsMusic]

@@brianmi40 yes! Absolutely! 😉

[@szasama]

This is how I translated it in my head too. I agree that matching it to the base beat would be really helpful
