Traditional Brazillian Dance & Music
Under the influence of the many cultures of the immigrants that settled in
Brazil, the variety of rhythms and dances that have been born in this
country is more than one can count. Starting with the native ritual music
that later the Portuguese Jesuits made suitable to their liturgies, to the
percussive beats of the Africans, Brazil received many great cultural
influences that helped shape it's unique fusion.
Batuque: Originated in a ritual of procreation that came with the
African slaves from Congo and Angola. Dancing to the sounds of the drums, a
man and a woman improvise moves in the center of circle. When they want to
pass a chance to another couple they do that with an umbigada. (navel to
navel)
Carimbo: Folkloric dance which originated in the state of Para in the
area of the Brazilian Amazon. Danced to the accompaniment of drums and
sometimes strings. The carimbo takes it's name from the large African drum.
Man and woman dance and when the woman throws her handkerchief on the floor
her companion picks it up using only his mouth.
Congada: Danced in circles in honor of Saint Benedict and our lady of
Rosary.
Cordoes: Carnival group that sing and dance together on the streets.
Choro: A style of music that became popular in the sixth decade of
the ninth century. The name Choro is related to the melancholy
characteristic of the music. It was named Seresta when there was a singer as
a soloist and Choro when it was all instrumental.
Maracatu: Performed out doors at the Carnival and Christmas time in
Pernambuco it involves man and woman in a procession that mixes theater and
music elements. The principal figure of the procession is the "Queen" who is
protected by a canopy and surrounded by costumed consorts.
Modinha: Arias about love or lament. Music that expresses sentiment
of nativism and nationalism. Usually done in binary or ternary compass.
Pastoris: Theatrical representations in front of the Nativity scene
at Christmas time. The dramatic dances and songs performed praise and
commemorate Jesus' birth.
Samba Enredo: a samba composed to be sang at carnival time by the
schools of samba. The theme of the samba always celebrates a patriotic or
historical event or person.
Frevo: Dance and style of music preeminent in Recife (capital of the
state of Pernambuco). Happy rhythm with fast melodies performed especially
at carnaval times in street parades. The frevo ensembles bring to mind a big
band with saxophones, trombones, trumpets, shakers and the pandeiros Hip Brazil

Brazil, Canada and Portugal. In 2003 the company received an
award for the work SILสNCIO (Silence) - a dance performance in
