We will continue to play around with Sore Samba through December in a simplified arrangement (not meant to be shared, thanks!). Here is the Senior Class version of the track.
The general sequence of the song will go like this. We’ve already covered most of already during class. Try to think about it less like a structured song like Renshu Taiko, but allow yourself to feel all the different beats and how they fit together and how you fit into it. I’ll be calling out all the different parts.
