Undisputed: Joao Gilberto is a genius.
Getting in the mood for our week of music class that focuses on Brazil by listening to Joao Gilberto. Our All Around This World’s intro to Brazilian music points us to Axé, Afoxé, Bossa nova, Capoeira, Choro Music, Forró, Maracatu, Samba and Tropicalia.
You knew it would happen…our online music class for kids simply HAD to visit Brazil while on a tour of music and cultures from Latin America. This week we’ll dance Samba, play Capoeira, spin like a top and turtle our Brazilian canoe.
Wow. Capoeira…wow. Brazil’s one-of-a-kind African-inspired sport/game/music/dance/martial art, graceful and grand, born of struggle and triumphant survival. In class with little kids our capoeira moves leave much to be desired, but why should ineptitude stop us? Here’s a start.
