Paturi e Galdino - DESAFIO

What is Embolada? Embolada, also known as Coco de Embolada, Coco-de-improviso, repente de embolada, or Coco de repente, is an art form that originated in the Northeast of Brazil and is very popular there. In it, two singers perform improvised verses, full of rhyme and rhythm. All of this happens to the fast and lively beat of the tambourine, which gives that characteristic and energetic rhythm. What’s great about embolada is that the singers create the verses on the spot, showing a lot of creativity and skill. It’s a mix of music, improvisation, and Northeastern popular culture that is sure to captivate anyone!
