What happens when you mix Pagode with Hip-Hop?
 

Here is a video of my friend playing his Cavaquinho.

That was cool man. Kids bobbing in the back and him all hardcore with that little "guitar".

He can keep a straight face can't he. That was pretty good. What was he looking at?

He was looking at the video on youtube.

My friend can play with the best of them and he doesn't believe me. He is the one who some times help me make some videos of my R/Cs. He has some videos up in youtube as well playing with his band called Delirio Do Samba. Here is one of them:

Some fast strumming there.

That video doesn't show how good he really is. He learned how to play the "cavaquinho" in just a month and hew was playing for a band in 3 months.

Just showed it to my wife...Even she is impressed with his skills.
