Afro cuban rhythm: Arara Free lesson

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Thanks!! Singing is the most difficult part for me!

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

I don't know which beat you mean, but most of the time there are 2 possibilities. The first one is dancing on the beats of the maracas (in the end, the guy on the left) and the other one is dancing on the bassnotes from the low congadrum. Good luck!

Awesome video! Which arará rhythm is this? Didn't get a chance to learn this one when I was in Matanzas.

hello Michael and thanks, I'm an italian drum set player and your videos are helping me a lot in both afrocuban and brazilian styles. I noticed in this video that the pattern you play on the guataca is the same traditional bembe pattern that you mentioned, the only difference is that you play it 2 eight notes later, is that correct? bembe : X.x.xx.x.x.x actual pattern: .xX.x.xx.x.x it's like the maracas are playing the second note of each triplets

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Hello Mario, Yes it is correct. They also use the same pattern as in Bembé and they use more pattern for Arara, but I decided to share this one. I hope you enjoyed the video.
