Repenique calls - does someone know any...

[timo]

Does somebody know any calls for repenique, were starting a small batucada(other stuff as well) group in my capoeira school, and any calls and responses would be usefull, i know a few simpple ones, but more would be nice, since they bring new colour to playing samba. thanks.

Hi Timo,

There's a site with a few samba sound files to download (some are repinique calls) here: http://www.xs4all.nl/~marcelo/music/sound/index.html

I know some other repinique calls that aren't listed, so I'll try and transcribe them or record some soundclips of my own.

If your group wants a really good reference book for samba, 'O Batuque Carioca' is the best there is - https://www.flic.net/~saa/sambala/BatuqueOrder.html

I hope that's helpful.
