Xote on guitar
Xote on guitar: the strumming pattern “zabumba on the thumb”, in 2/4, with audio on its own page. 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.
Within the forró universe, xote is the moment to dance close: a calm, romantic cadence with simple steps. Here you'll find the style's strumming patterns, in other words the rhythms that sustain that gentle sway typical of parties in Brazil's Northeast.
