A few songs from CM Silvinho

Jeff Schuler — Mon, 2008/12/15 - 9:38pm

This past weekend Oberlin hosted Contra Mestre Silvinho from FICA Seattle for workshops and roda. At the Saturday workshop, CM Silvinho taught us three corridos -- two with which I wasn't familiar...

A few songs from CM SilvinhoA few songs from CM Silvinho

 Quando cheguei de Aruanda

Ai ai ai ai
Quando cheguei de Aruanda
Trouxe o meu berimbau
dentro de minha capanga

Ai ai ai ai
Quando cheguei de Aruanda

Trouxe o meu pandeiro
o meu gunga e a minha viola

O iaiá vem vê

O iaiá vem vê
O iaiá vem cá
Capoeira de angola ô iaiá
é jogada devagar ô iaiá

O iaiá vem vê
O iaiá vem cá

Quando eu entro numa roda ô iaiá
eu quero vadiá ô iaiá

He talked a little about the meaning of ioiô and iaiá, (terms for the slave master or his/her son or daughter,) and mentioned that he learned these corridos from a Mestre Poloca (of Grupo Nzinga.) We also sang Beira mar ioiô, beira mar iaiá. The "titles" I've listed for tthe songs are, of course, arbitrary, and my own choice, (not Silvinho's.)

Corrections and additional verses appreciated.
