When I grew up, I never cared for my country's music much... I was into rock and roll from the get go. Sure, when Carnaval came around I went out with the crowd and had a blast partying to the loudest Samba you can imagine, but that was about the extent of my interest in Brazilian music.
I never cared for bossa nova, pagode, baiao, etc...thought that was boring stuff for old people
Anyway... Now that I'm learning to play the drums, I was surprised to find out that Brazilian style of music is subject of study at music schools world wide. I really had no idea.
What surprised me even more is that now I'm growing some interest in it, specially Samba and Bossa nova, inspired by the couple of grooves in Tommy Igoe's Groove Essentials (I couldn't believe when I realized Brazilian style takes the majority of that poster in the World Section...).
Anyway, I tried the bossa nova groove, and it was like a different world, I could not find myself within the play along song at all, completely lost.
My question with this post is... I have been learning the drums for abotu 6 months. Of course, rock is was I practice all the time, and it is very familiar to me.
Is Brazilian style of music a more advanced thing I should not try at the moment, like Jazz and such? Am I tripping by trying this out now?
