Jazz for aficionados
Originally from Africa where it receives different names, the berimbau was eventually incorporated into the practice of the Afro-Brazilian martial art capoeira, the berimbau leads the capoeiristas movement in the roda—the faster the berimbau is playing the faster the capoeirista moves in the game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uuSaOZg8hI The berimbau originated in an early nineteenth-century Brazilian slave culture. How often do you hear this instrument used in the music from the continent which it originated? Who knows how many things that left that continent for good on those slave ships. Reality is what it is, not what it ain't. History can be written any way those who chose to write it wish, but reality can not be altered. “The moving finger writes; and, having writ, moves on: nor all thy piety nor wit shall lure it back to cancel half a line, nor all thy tears wash out a word of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jl4bZnmtCcs |

To my ears, the most beautiful music comes from Brazil. This decision was made ages ago, it was made when I didn't even know where the music I had heard came from, or even the name of the tune playing, I simply heard some music on the car radio, and I liked it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVkDfnGobmI |
