Ijexá — 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. Rooted in Afro-Brazilian tradition, ijexá moves with a serene, majestic cadence — an almost processional stride heard in afoxés, the street parades tied to Bahia's traditions. Here you'll find the genre's strumming patterns, in other words, the rhythmic figures behind that groove, solemn and danceable at once.
