Mangueira

Thanks Remko for making us play Mangueira - it's a motivating caixa pattern and when we master it I'm sure the outcome will be AWESOME.

I found two interesting samba blogs showing patterns and associated fingering for caixa - I noticed that the accents are not exactly the same for Mangueira, and now I don't remember which one you made us play !
(r right, l left, z buzz, caps accents)

I remembered this
RlRR lRRl RlRR lzzl

Now I see this
RRlR lRRl RlRR lzzl

or this
RRlR lRRl RRlR lzzl

(this one has lots of samba patterns, pretty cool)

(Yes, non caixa players, you can play this : zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz)

Nice work, Paul. I like playing the top one like this(- rest)...
RlrRlrRlRlrRlz-l

It's hard at speed, cause you have to accent the second right in the group of two (ie rR).
