Challenge #capocovid19 Nº 7: Berimbau Skills ii
So it’s time for more berimbau practice!
Don’t have a berimbau at home, you can still learn the toques.
Practice them either verbally by saying “ding dong dong”, or hitting things with a chopstick.
No, it’s not the same, but it will help you learn the rhythm at least, and it’s better than nothing.
If you can learn the theory, the practice will be a lot easier when you finally get your hands on a berimbau again.
Cavalaria was one of the 8 toques used by Mestre Bimba. It was used as a warning if the police were approaching.
