Very nice lesson, my little nephew was amazed how many simple patterns put out together, could sound very awesome. Thank You Maestro! Cheers from Chile!
Hello, Maestro, This is very nice and it is a definite great variation to the, Cuban, version. You are great, "AS ALWAYS." Thank you for your continuing teachings. Be Well!!
This is a great video. Thankyou for your teaching. We have been using this rhythm in a conga group I run in lancashire. Can anyone recommend a song that fits nicely with this rhythm?
Great lesson, Michael! Just one suggestion if I may: in your introduction to Ijexa, you say it's a rhythm brought from Yoruba people t oBrazil. I think you should make clear that what you really referring to is the transatlantic slave trade and colonization. "Brought" is a soft and easy-to-digest way to put it and I can see why one would choose that in a video directed to non-Brazilians (mostly). But precisely because of that we always should refer to the social, cultural, and historical aspects of Afro-Brazilian music with precision and clarity. The very fact you are teaching it in English is a testament of a people's historical resilience, resistance and survival. These are sacred elements in Ijexa itself! The erasures and omissions of parts of that story feed the cycles of invisibility, discredit and subjugation of that people. There's more to this of course but I won't take more space than I did. I appreciate your teaching and all the videos you post! Axé.
They are not tribe but nations. Tribe is how colonizations, your ancestors called them. They are NATIONS AND ETHNIC GROUP WITH MANY LANGUAGES AND THEIR OWN CULTURE.
I am sorry, but my anscestors are from Africa. They were colonized and kept as slaves. You should be very careful with what you write. I don't know why you write My ANCESTORS, when you don't know me. Perhaps you only looked at my skin colour? That is what a lot racists do, but I hope you're not one of them....
I've learned more about African -based rhythms from you than all of music school. Another excellent presentation.
Thank you, John! These African-based rhythms will always have my interest. I'm happy to share it!

Thanks for this video but Yoruba is not a tribe. Yoruba is an ethnic group.
