March 2013, "São Bento Pequeno de Angola"

X X   O     Θ   _
tsts dim dom _(caixixi shake or strike cabaça with baqueta)

Note:

  • X ("ts" sound)=Dobrão lightly touching the arame and cabaça is on your belly.

  • O ("dim" sound)=Dobrão is pressed into the arame and the cabaça is away from the belly.

  • Θ ("dom" sound)=Dobrão is away from the arame and the cabaça is away from the belly.

  • _ ("shake" sound)=Sound is created from a the single shake of the caixixi

 

It is used in a toque berimbau médio, but can also be played on gunga when the second Master Noronha, is used to undo a match blows.

This is the inverse of the of Angola toque, touching DIM / DOM with two melodic notes in downward movement, first note after the acute and severe.
