Proper samba instruments aren\u2019t cheap (although you can sometimes get good bulk deals on internet and from specialist suppliers) but not having instruments is no excuse!!! Some samba started off life as a junk band, and you can too. If you look back at the history of samba, improvised instruments feature strongly. When a military junta ran Brazil in the 1960s and 70s for example, street music or indeed anything considered \u00abcultural\u00bb was viewed with suspicion and playing samba could get you arrested. So people used frying pans, table tops, match boxes, clapped hands – indeed anything that could be put to more innocent uses if the army showed up. To put it another way – go with what you\u2019ve got.<\/p>\n

So, making the instruments is the obvious first step. Look at the instruments section of this site to find out the type of instruments you\u2019ll need. Some of them, such as the caixa may be hard to improvise, but the others should be achievable from junk. As a rule, use containers, plastic and metal, and experiment with different levels of pitch and bass.<\/p>\n
