a little piece of the hole
This is a song in 7/8 I learned from my Mid-East music teacher David Reihs. I can find no other provenance for it, but “Laz” refers to a people/tribal on the east coast of the Black Sea.
This is a bare bones digital recording in GarageBand, just so you can hear the notes in the right place.

Nice repetitive groove with layered changes. But how do you pronounce it?
Bossa Nova
There are so many worthwhile things to play with in Bossa Nova — simple syncopated rhythms, seemingly sophisticated chord progressions that actually follow a simple lead note, temporary key changes in the middle of a passage, and all that tension and release of suspended chords. And the best thing is you really don’t need to know what any of that means to pick up the rock and sway of the rhythm and play with it.
