about

The rhythm bravum is associated with Oxumarê, represented by the rainbow snake of seven colors. Like Oxumarê, the music is very dynamic and positive, exploring the constant movement and cycles of the universe. The melody is partially inspired by Maurice Ravel’s Bolero in its use of repeated melodic motifs and odd cycles. The snake dances to this rhythmic stop-and-go, culminating in the middle section where it writhes madly. Then, in a moment of primal and crude vitality, Glaucus blows the two saxophones simultaneously, while the atabaque rum also explodes in bursts of rhythmic energy. In the end, the sax resumes the initial melody and slowly hypnotizes the atabaques, numbing them until they release a final surprise burst.

O ritmo “bravum” é associado ao orixá Oxumarê, simbolizado pela cobra arco-íris de sete cores. Como o orixá, a música é muito dinâmica e positiva explorando o movimento constante e os ciclos. A melodia tem uma certa inspiração em Maurice Ravel pela repetição dos motivos melódicos e ciclos ímpares (Bolero). Nos ataques e paradas rítmicas – a “dança da serpente” – onde a cobra dança de maneira mais expressiva, Glaucus sopra os dois saxofones simultâneamente, num momento pleno de energia primal e bruta, que explode em adrenalina, representando a potência da serpente. O atabaque “Rum” se expressa em um solo também pleno de energia, ao final do qual o sax retoma a melodia inicial e “serpenteia” a cada vez mais suavemente, hipnotizando os atabaques e adormecendo-os.
