Pagode on ukulele

Pagode on ukulele: the progressions pagode cycle (I–vi–ii–V) and climb (ii–V–I), each with audio on its own page. Brazilian styles are not the ukulele's home turf: it can carry a gentle bossa nova, but the percussive drive of samba, choro and pagode asks for more bite and low-end punch than its soft nylon strings can give.

Pagode is samba around a circle of friends: warm, romantic, and inviting, made for singing along from start to finish. On this page you'll find the pagode cycle — that is, a loop of chords that circles back to the start without ever wearing out — and the climb, a ii-V-I that pulls the harmony back to the home chord.
