Ciranda — Guitar
On the acoustic guitar, a chord progression comes to life as full, ringing shapes, with the low string anchoring the bass and the rest filling out the harmony. By the seashore of Pernambuco, in Brazil, ciranda gathers people hand in hand in a slowly turning circle: the sound is heavy, hypnotic, and welcoming, like the back-and-forth of the waves. On this page you'll find the genre's strumming patterns — that is, the slow, firmly marked figures that rock that circle.
