Beginners Berimbau Tutorial: Learn the Basics

There are mainly 3 types of berimbaus:
The viola (highest pitch--solo instrument)
The medio (middle pitch--rhythm instrument)
The gunga (lowest pitch--bass instrument)
*There is also a Berra Boi, an even bigger and lower pitched gunga
When learning the Berimbau it is good to learn the basic clapping of Capoeira rhythms (palma de Bima and Palma de terreiro). It is also good to know the pandeiro toque, cadencia, and atabaque toques.
These toques will help you understand the box that the berimbau toque fits in, and give you the swing of the rhythms. When just starting to learn the berimbau, I recommend learning the following rhythm first.

May I ask: what sort of knot is used for the gourd/cabasa?

[@GingaAndGrowStrong]

Hey Greg! Thanks for the comment...I just use a square knot..it's strong enough yet gives the flexibility for mobility. It will come undone every few months depending on how much you use your berimbau...we use ours for our Capoeira academy so we get a lot of traffic. Good luck. LMK how it goes...I could do a vid if you need. LMK
