A Guide to the Traditional Brazilian Rhythms of Maracatu de Baque Virado with CD
Language: English Maracatu for Drumset and Percussion explores the traditional Brazilian rhythms of the Maracatu de Baque Virado, which originated in the Candomblé religion but have expanded to provide the rhythmic framework for a particularly exciting style of music. Author Scott Kettner explores every aspect of this dynamic genre, including: instruments of Maracatu de Baque Virado, changing traditions of maracatu, traditional and contemporary maracatu manifestations, drumset applications, New Orleans mambo, and more.
Master percussionist, bandleader, producer, and songwriter Scott Kettner is the guiding force behind Nation Beat, a band whose teeming, vibrant rhythms find common ground in the primal maracatu rhythm of Brazil's northeastern region, the Big Easy's funky, hypnotic second-line and strolling Mardi Gras Indians, and the unfettered freedom of big-city downtown jazz. After graduating from New York's New School University, Kettner moved to Brazil to learn more about maracatu. With this book, he shares an accessible and pragmatic approach to learning and understanding the instruments and basic rhythms of Maracatu de Baque Virado and how to apply these rhythms to drumset.

DVD ''A Coroa de Leão'' - 2017 Recife/Brazilincludes 2 compact workshopsLanguage : Portuguese (no subtitles!)The DVD shows the everyday life of different members of Leão Coroado in Olindas district Aguas Compridas. The film is not only a documentary and music video, but also allows you to take part in rehearsals, prepare for performances and provides wonderful insights into the deep connection of a traditional Maracatus with Candomblé. This connection is particularly evident in the passages with Luiz de França, the legendary Mestre of Leão Coroado, who died in 1997 at the age of 96.Mestre Alfonso Aguiar, the director of Leão Coroado at the time of shooting, talks about his path to Maracatu. The DVD and the book of the same name are his legacy. Mestre Alfonso died unexpectedly a few days after the release of the DVD.In addition there are two extras:Workshop 1 with the typical toques of Leão Coroado, presented individually and in interaction.Workshop 2 with the rhythms of the Candomblés in Pernambuco is a special highlight.A recommendation by Kalango co-founder Klaus Urban.
