I'm afraid reading the materials quoted above will cause confusion in readers' thinking. For a professional coach, they all know what it is, so they seem to pay little attention to what is written in the books, so they will not be bothered by the contents of these books. A lot of people say that. Put the book aside! It seems difficult for me. Sorry about this. I just want you to clarify what's confusing. Are we using two different technologies, or am I mistaken? They mean the same thing. Who knows?

samba
Samba dance is called Brazil's "national dance". In Latin America, the largest country, samba dance is popular. There is a saying that people, regardless of gender, age and age, usually dance, especially on holidays; Jump on the stage, jump on the street; Dance during the day and dance at night. Whenever exciting music plays, people are always passionate, and they can't help but twist their legs and waist, jump up and get intoxicated. Samba originated in Africa. The word "samba" is said to have evolved from the word "samba" of Kimbandu, the second largest Angolan tribe in Africa. "Samba" is a passionate belly dance. As the name implies, this dance is characterized by shaking the abdomen and buttocks up and down. This is the most popular dance sport in Angola, and later it began to spread abroad with the rise of slave trade. From the 1930s of 16 to the middle of 19, Portuguese colonists sold120,000 slaves to Brazil from Angola and other parts of Africa. When the slaves were loaded into the cabins and transported to the newly discovered Latin American continent, the white slave traders were worried that the journey would be long, the slaves would stay in the cabins for dozens of days, and their legs and feet would not be flexible after landing, so they could not sell at a good price. So, every day, they drove the slaves crowded in the cabin to the deck, accompanied by beating barrels and iron pots, and let them dance a samba to exercise their muscles. In this way, the colonists who wanted to enhance the competitiveness of this special commodity inadvertently brought this dance popular in Africa to Latin America.
According to research, samba was first popular in El Salvador, the capital of Bahia, Brazil. This is where the Portuguese first landed and colonized in Brazil. They have a large number of plantations and mining areas here. Black slaves who were trafficked to plantations and mining areas enjoyed this kind of hometown dance after heavy work. In the following centuries, black slaves from Africa and their descendants increased their contact with whites from all over Europe and gradually merged with indigenous Indians. In this way, their dance gradually absorbed some factors of Bohemian Polka dance from Europe, Habanera dance from Cuba and Maxisher dance popular in Brazil, and gradually formed modern samba dance. According to records, in the early 20th century, it was women in Bahia who brought this dance to Rio de Janeiro, then the capital of Brazil. From then on, this dance began to flow from the coast to the mainland, from slums to the upper class, and from black and black-and-white "villages" to whites. At the same time, percussion instruments such as bronze drums, gongs and cymbals in Rio de Janeiro slums were gradually replaced by Spanish six-string guitars and Creary in Creary. 1928, the first samba school in Brazil was established in Rio de Janeiro. 1932, Brazil held the first Valentine's Day samba parade to watch the competition, which was welcomed and praised by people. Since then, modern samba dance has quickly swept the whole country of Brazil. Samba dance was originally an indigenous dance in Africa, and it was originally a ritual dance with religious color. From 16 to 18, the Portuguese brought a large number of slaves from Angola, Congo and other Africa to colonize Brazil, replacing jobs that Brazilians and indigenous people did not want to do, and slaves also brought their dances to Brazil. /kloc-In the 9th century, the rolling dance of Brazilian slaves joined the transformation movement of Brazilian native dance Durham, and then joined the float parade introduced from Europe-the carnival dance step Copa cabannes, which was mixed to form Zemba Quecu, and finally mixed with Brazilian dance Maxixe.
Samba dance was introduced to America in 1930s, because it is interesting and lively. Later, after being trained and processed by American dance experts, it was continuously studied and improved in basic training, dance steps and arrangement, and was accepted as one of the five major Latin dance series, and officially designated as an international standard dance competition. During festivals, revelry prevails in towns in Brazil, and people will dance samba with a little improvisation, because of its bright rhythm, which is heavy and light, and soon spread all over major cities in Europe and America. (1) Popular samba dance: Dance movements are improvised by the dancers along with the rhythm. Female dancers are mainly small and dexterous hip-twisting movements, while male dancers often show their dancing skills with various dexterous movements under their feet besides hip-twisting movements. When performing, you can dance in a circle, or you can invite a man and a woman to perform in a circle, while others are still dancing in the same place. You can also lead the way alone, others line up in the back, future generations hold the waist of predecessors, and everyone twists their hips in various formations.
(2) Performing samba: The hip twisting movements of female dancers are combined with great changes in modeling and footwork, and at the same time, various formations are created according to the number of dancers, while male dancers are beating and jumping with various percussion instruments. anibal zurdo
Surdo with five pitches originated from SambaReaggae style, but it is still Surdo with three basic pitches of Rio samba. Repinique, a treble instrument
In SambaReaggae, two plastic drumsticks are usually used for high-speed continuous beating, while in Rio samba, one drumstick and one hand are usually used to match the beating. This is the most commonly used instrument of the drum leader, who is responsible for convening some coordination and directing the start and end of the whole drum team.
Caixa
Using ordinary drum sets and beating with wooden drumsticks is the basis for the drum sets to maintain a stable speed. In Rio samba, the pitch of Caixa is usually adjusted to a higher level, and the side with the spring band is hit.
Portuguese ukulele
Often called Brazilian guitar, its size is much smaller than that of guitar, and its real size can be seen from this picture. Rhythmic and lively samba usually brings great excitement to the competition, and its focus should be on good body balance and the correct distribution and application of fixed-point dance steps and Z-shaped movements. Generally speaking, samba dance belongs to progressive action dance. The action should be like "carnival parade", and the fixed-point dance should interact with the audience. The improved international standard Latin samba dance is different from the original Brazilian samba dance, which brings people into a carnival state, but still retains the characteristics and vitality of "carnival parade".
For competitors, a highly flexible body is the first, and for such a body with a strong sense of rhythm, the arm plays an important role in balance. Advanced dancers will correctly use their body weight and gravity to produce a "heavy" center of gravity. Players should pay attention to moderate muscle relaxation and center of gravity, physical and psychological tension can not perform lively and enthusiastic samba well.
Special contributor
Walter Laird and his partner Lorraine contributed the most to the integration of samba into international standard dance. In the eyes of people all over the world, samba is the national dance of Brazil, representing the passion and artistic integration of many nationalities. Carnival is the most important festival for Brazilians. However, Brazilians do not treat samba as noble as foreigners, because the black dance brought by slaves in the16th century was classified as "indecent" and "rude" because of physical friction during dancing. Therefore, in the years before the beginning of the 20th century, if Brazilians danced samba, they would be regarded as idlers and rogues, and sometimes the police would stop them.
On the other hand, however, the dance of former blacks has religious and cultural significance. Because of the participation of Brazilian indigenous and European dance steps, it has evolved into a multi-ethnic dance, and the heroic percussion instruments it uses have deeply touched people's hearts. For the middle and lower classes in Brazil, the teasing and rhythm of dance represents the relaxation of dissatisfaction with the real society and is the medium of the relationship between men and women. However, 40 or 50 years after the international community accepted the samba, its status in Brazil has been improved, but Brazil has not yet brought it into the aristocratic art palace. In May 2006, the first samba percussion orchestra in China was established in Beijing, named Samba Beijing. This community was originally founded by artists Jimmy Bai Ya and Li Chenhao in San Francisco in September 2002. Its members are mainly Asians living in San Francisco, so it was named Sambaya.
Sambaya Beijing is a community-based non-profit organization, which mainly provides educational projects and special performances related to traditional Brazilian percussion and dance. It is the only community in China that is active in performing and teaching percussion and dance in Brazil. In May 2006, JimmyBiala and Li Baoyan founded Sambaya Beijing. Since then, Sambaya Beijing has developed from a small team of 65,438+05 people to a community group with nearly 40 students, offering different levels of Brazilian percussion and dance courses. The original intention of the founders JimmyBiala and Li Chenhao (Li Baoyan) was to build a bridge of cultural exchange between communities in the San Francisco Bay Area by combining Brazilian drum music with Asian dance. At the end of 2008, Samba Beijing passed the certification of the World Samba Organization Association and became its member organization.
