Yes please mama
I asked a friend a question yesterday, about how to remember rhythms. This afaik is for samba: "Yes please mama, I want cake, mama". I guess there are many rhythms in samba, though,
One of our patterns with a phrase to help you remember it: "Yes please mama, I want cake, mama!" When you play it, "mama" is played with open notes, all the rest are closed. See, easy!
