Sounds of Bahia

This DVD is intended for anyone who is interested in learning the fundamentals of this unique and powerful musical instrument. While the berimbau is played as an important part of many Afro-Brazilian dances, ritual, and art forms, it is known mainly as the principal instrument accompanying Capoeira, the spectacular martial art that is growing in popularity worldwide. A deceptively simple looking one-stringed bow, the Berimbau, it's many rhythms and their application can in fact be very complex and take years of practice to master. Acclaimed musician and Capoeira expert Amen Santo (Only the Strong) invites you to take the first step on the path to learning the berimbau. This DVD contains instruction on all the basics from the history of the berimbau to its assembly and care.
