Pagode
The afternoon stretches whenever the cavaquinho decides it's not time yet.
Pagode is a style from the The Party That Never Ends family. 100 BPM, Weirdness 14, Style Influence 94.
Cavaquinho and pandeiro on the backyard table, everyone singing along. Pagode, the intimate side of Brazilian samba, is what weekends with friends sound like.

Sample excerpt
Mesa en el patio, cerveza en el centro, el cavaquinho apareció sin que nadie lo pidiera. Media familia cantando lo mismo desde hace veinte años y ninguno se cansa todavía.
Canta, que aquí no se cobra entrada, canta, que la ronda vuelve a empezar. No hace falta que suenes bonito, hace falta que estés en la mesa.
Workshop note — Plural, presente, íntima y colectiva. El pagode es rueda en el patio: la letra invita y nombra la mesa, el instrumento, la ronda. A 100 BPM el coro responde cada dos versos.
