Husky

I have often practised with the samba band at Husky Studios in Elephant and Castle. Last night I went there for a special group for a friend's wedding anniversary and played cavaquinho (the Brazilian Ukulele) with an experienced guitarist, a couple of horns and several percussionists. We did a samba reggae version of a Clash song, a London samba enredo (Africa Negra) and a version of Aquarela do Brasil (in B flat). It was a challenge sight reading the chords, but even more so, at one point, trying to simultaneously transpose up one key with the guitarist!
