Ok, got a scanner and the rhythms should be on the way, atleast i think so... There are two rhythms the way i learnt them from, Contra Mestre Siri De Mangue, and Mestre Angolinha,(and theres still a ton left to write), theres Angola, which also has São Bento Pequena in it, and Angolinho(not sure about spelling), for Berinbau. And a basic Forro rhythm for atambaque,(basically the same as the normal but sounds better).The other rhythm is São Bento Grande, a much more faster rhythm. Myabe some day ill send, more stuff, like Yuna, and Amazonas...etc and maybe some variations, since there are about as many variations for some rhythms as Mestres.
, plus maybe some variations (basic general "improvisations")... well see.
i sent them to congaman and i hope he receaves them so i dont have to go through this crap of finding a scanner (that doesnt even work properly!) again. Plus if you can make anything out from my writing..
all the best..
