Brazil and Colombia: samba, baião and cumbia
Samba, baião and cumbia, the grooves where the feet carry the dance. Each one comes in a limb at a time, then as the whole groove, then with a fill of its own, ending on a forró track. The cumbia uses a cowbell; play it on the ride bell if you have none. A song to play along with every day (three tracks).
