- Pagode
Pagode is a
Brazil ian style of music which originated in theRio de Janeiro region as a subgenre ofSamba . Pagode originally meant a celebration with lots of food, music and dance. In1978 Beth Carvalho was introduced to this music, liked it and recorded tracks byZeca Pagodinho and others. Apparently, as time has gone by, the term 'Pagode' has been degraded by many commercial groups who have played a version of the music full of clichés, and there is now a sense in which the term Pagode means very commercial pop, a negative term (see Pagode Romântico) [ [http://br.geocities.com/alexfig1971/sambacarioca_iphan.htm Samba carioca torna-se patrimônio histórico] pt] .Original Pagode developed in the start of the 1980s, with the advent of
Grupo Fundo de Quintal and the introduction of three new instruments in the classical samba formation. Pagode lyricism also represented a kind of evolution towards the tradition of malicious and ironic samba lyrics, with a much heavier use of slang and underground terms ("gírias").The banjo, whose introduction is mostly credited to
Almir Guineto , is abanjo cavaquinho . The banjo has a different and louder sound than the cavaquinho; that loudness is an advantage in an acousticroda de samba where there are lots of percussion instruments and people singing along. The banjo is one of the most characteristic instruments of the pagode sound.The
tan-tan , whose introduction is credited toSereno , is a more dynamic type ofsurdo , used to keep the main beat of the samba, the `heart of the samba', and played with the hands.The
repique de mão , whose introduction is credited toUbirany , is a percussive instrument used specially for rhythmic turnarounds.Musicians and groups
