This was the parade piece in a longer arrangement. We (Samba Ja) were fortunate to be joined by the lovely Samba da Alegria from Arcata, CA!
  Recorded on a Zoom h4n. Post editing in Abelton 9. I used the "Warm and Wide Drum" device and pushed lows and mids to try to get the tones out the surdos. I know, I didn't leave any headroom but I liked the way it sounded so I left it. Let me know what you think! Thanks! (~MP)

Maracatu EP - SJ+SdA EC13

What a show!  We closed out the Brazilian show on Mural Amphitheater after playing with some of our friends from Olympia(Samba Olywa) and Seattle(Vamola!).  And we were stoked! So here is a set of Oldies and goodies.
