Keywords:
Bulgarian folklore, brazilian music, irregular rhythmic structures, polyrhythm, polymetryAbstract
This text presents a brief overview and observationsof practical experience, applying rhythmic synthesis and mixing of uneven dimensions of Bulgarian musical folklore and some characteristic musical styles in Afro-Brazilian popular music. Polyrhythm and polymeter can also appear as some ways of interpretation. In open educational concerts in Sao Paulo, Brazil, many interactions between Brazilian musical genres samba, baiao, patido alto and Bulgarian dances paidushko, rachenitsa, daichovo and kopanitsa were discussed as well as alternative ways of their perception. The aim of this study includes opportunities for development, new applications and creative collaboration between musicians of different cultural backgrounds by experimenting with alternative methods of conducting the rhythmic variation.
