​SAMBA REGGAE (OLODUM)

• Compact arrangement / numerous breaks in quick succession

Notice the 3rd surdo part and the ‘bossa-clave’ rhythm in the repique.

Samba Reggae Tutorial 

• Basic parts
• Slow tempo​

Notice the call-out and how the repique and corte (3rd surdo) part are unaligned. The call-out traditionally starts and ends on beat 3, not beat 1.
