Thanks for the video! My family is from the Azores and moved to Hawaii. I saw a cavaquinho at the Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix and was intrigued by it.
Wall Cat, well... not really... Rasgueado or rasqueado, from Spanish: 1. tr. Tocar la guitarra u otro instrumento rozando varias cuerdas a la vez con las puntas de los dedos. 2. intr. Hacer rasgos al escribir. I don’t think it comes directly from “ripping”, more from touching, scratching
The Cavaquinho is from Portugal and was brought to Brazil by immigrants and to Hawaii also by Portuguese Immigrants where it was transformed into a Ukelele....
os Açores are not 1, but rather 9 (main) Islands & he didn't claim that o Cavaquinho was from there. Moreover, you're incorrect... it's from the Continent.
@@CaalamusTube I watched a different "mini lecture" video that mentioned an alternate name for the Cavaquinho, which is derived from Braga, where it originated. Or atleast where people think it originated.
Very informative, thank you! I've been considering trying to find a Cavaquinho to purchase, and learning it's a Portuguese instrument makes me want one even more, as my ancestors are from Portugal
Cavaquinhos are very popular here in Brazil, we play a lot in samba with big percusive influence by african influence. That gives a extra magic to the instrument, chsck out the samba enredo style Also brazillians cavaquinhos are larger than the portuguese.
He really only knows about his own family history. Yes, there are more Brasilian cavaquinhos than Portugues! I would like to see a video about how the cavaco arrived in brazil and changed into the wild animal it is today.
The zone of attack of the ropes, is not over the mouth. It is in the space between the end of the arm and the beginning of the mouth. Express yourself, and you'll get a better sound.

Actually "rasgado" means ripped or to rip.
But still, great showcasing of the Cavaquinho!
Keep it up :)

Thank you, Rafael!

I would have sworn it was tge same as the spanish “rasgueado” on a guitar.
Cool!!
Wow great playing! 🙂
I'm looking at getting a cavaquinho for myself; can you share where you got yours from? It sounds and looks very nice!
Machete De Braga (Braguinha).
The cavaquinho is brazilian

No it isn't exclusive to Brazil, you have a cavaqinho indigent to Cape Verde, a former colony of Portugal as well
@@JoaoOliveira-kg8qd Correct;
O cavaquinho é originalmente português e tradicionalmente brasileiro, ou seja o cavaquinho é Luso-brasileiro.
O cavaquinho é tão brasileiro como o seu sobrenome....
It's from Madeira not Açores!!! Two different islands
os Açores are not 1, but rather 9 (main) Islands & he didn't claim that o Cavaquinho was from there. Moreover, you're incorrect... it's from the Continent.
isnt it from braga? then it went to madeira and the acores
@@MatthewZmusician209 I don't know about Braga in particular. But it's definitely from the mainland.

@@hailbaphomet Wouldn't doubt it. Bracarenses are bamfs.
Celts for the win!

Ukuleles R just Hawaiian Cavaquinhos
@eanna connolly Ukuleles are just Cavaquinhos. The ukes came later.
Cavaquinhos are very popular here in Brazil, we play a lot in samba with big percusive influence by african influence. That gives a extra magic to the instrument, chsck out the samba enredo style
Also brazillians cavaquinhos are larger than the portuguese.
Hense the name Ukulele(jumping flea)
Or "Present that came"... meaning "the present that came from Portugal" as said by the story of the QueenLilial Kalale sister of King Kalakaua
Thats a weird looking ukulele ya got there mate.
Actually the ukelele was introduced by portuguese in Hawaii
@@SirCasticoo Yeah I think that was part of the joke.
Gringo, how come you make a 4 minutes video about cavaquinho and don't mention Brazil/Samba?
He really only knows about his own family history. Yes, there are more Brasilian cavaquinhos than Portugues! I would like to see a video about how the cavaco arrived in brazil and changed into the wild animal it is today.
hes talking about the portuguese cavaquinho because his family is from portugal the brazilian cavaquinho is a completely different thing

Maybe u mean Brazillian instrument
Johnny Lande It was invented in madeira by a Portuguese so it is a portuguese instrument without doubt.
Not quite. It comes from Braga, Portugal. Then it was brought to Madeira (that's why they cal it "Braguinha" there)
This is the father of the Ukelele
