Samba - cambridge research project

Samba is a Brazilian dance and music genre, when the samba is going on, the way the band member interact with each other is they use signals to each other, quite like sign language, using there hands, facial expressions and maybe even a whistle some times, as it’s a high pitch sound which you could hear easily when the band is playing. Usually the person who signals all the instructions is the main person at the front, leading the band, he/she uses there hands mostly in different ways to show what to do next, they could put a thumbs up, wave there hands in the air, and more things like this.

The Band encourages their audience really well to be involved in what they do, they are all very enthusiastic in the band when it is going on, they jump up and down, they sway there selves side to side in a bubbly, fun way, they clap there hands. This is a good way to make the audience want to join in and be a part of the samba band. With what they wear are bright colours in there clothes, so this attracts the audience with eye catching objects.

The arrangement in this video is placed out really well, thee girls are mainly on the light instruments which make the higher pitch noises, with them being at the front, whereas the men are on the big bass drums, which are loud and very deep instruments, and they stand mainly at the back of the stage.

In this video they are all outside, so there is not any light effects, just the natural sun light out side, although that is not as good as if it was inside with good lighting, its still be well don’t, as there all wearing brightly coloured clothes which looks really good.
