Video sizzle: Fresh NYE 2010 clip
SE laying down the Dancehall just after midnight, Jan. 1, 2010 @ Revival w. Footprints/United Soul. Musical Director Jon Medow conducting!
This clip features the classic SE Dancehall rhythm. The middle portion starting at 00:53 comprises the “tamborim medley,” a repertoire staple since the early days, and one of a beloved handful of pieces that’s remained nearly unchanged. The arrangement highlights dialogue between tamborims and caixas/repenique in particular, with surdos and bells (agogos) keeping the Dancehall cell (AKA boom-boom KRAK) while the shakers (chocalhos/ganzas) fill out a continuous groove.
Best of all, the NYE dancefloor GOES OFF and this brave, beat-lovin’ videographer gets right in there! Great clip: Obrigado muito quatros1! ;D
