Old school samba: Trio Gato com Fome Posted by on Nov 29, 2011 in Uncategorized

Olá, tudo bem com você?

I was at this bar in my town (Bebedouro, in the state of São Paulo) and a samba trio was playing there. They’re called Trio Gato com Fome (The Hungry Cat Trio) and they play old school samba, with classics and their own songs.

The Trio Gato com Fome has Cadu Ribeiro (voice / hand frame drum), Gregory Andreas (cavaquinho, a type of Brazilian small guitar) and Renato Enoki (7-string guitar) and intends to bring back samba varieties like choro, samba-canção, samba-de-breque and partido-alto.

They were recently on the Sr. Brasil show, one of the most respected Brazilian regional music shows. Check out the videos below.

I asked Gregory’s permission to share one of their songs with you so you can download it below.
