When working on these loops, try to get references from records in this style: listen to the drummer but also to the entire group. Do not reduce your vision, music is a whole, and the only way to understand any style is with thorough analysis. I am not a specialist in these styles, but whenever I could, I have listened to music from Brazil, and, as everyone knows, the Samba is one of the most important festive rhythms in that country. Listen to the schools of Samba from Rio or Sao Paolo, they’ll blow your mind!
