Today’s session will steer away from Rio, and instead will focus on some grooves and techniques from Bahia. Join Rob Arcari as we delve into the world of repique for Samba Reggae.

For this session in an ideal world you will have a repique, a pair of whippy plastic sticks, and a space you can make lots of noise in.  If you don’t have these then you could improvise and just make it work. Practice pads will work great with regular wooden drumsticks. If you have no sticks- wooden spoons? You’ll think of something. To hit, if you don’t have a practice pad you can hit a pillow, a book, the sole of a sneaker, again you can figure something out.
