different rytms
became crucial to
different aspects of folklore and
celebrations.
coco is one of the rythms that is most played in popular songs, while rytyms
such as
maracatu,
frevo, and
bumba meu boi are almsot always accompained by specific dances.
jongo, also called
caxambú, has magical and poetic components that
add to its musical aspects.
perhaps difficult to recognize to the
untrained hear, these rythms are not difficult to
enjoy by everyone, and
easy to find within urban rio
de janeiro.
today there are still many
successful and influential bands and
musicians that often play a variety of northeaster rythms.
