No part of this publication may be copied, reproduced or otherwise transmitted or recorded, for any purpose, without prior written permission. FOREWORD We are really excited to announce Rio Grooves! - the most essential collection of Brazilian rhythms ever made, performed by some of the finest musicians, and recorded and mixed by Latin Grammy award-winning engineers. It features unparalleled flexibility in multi-microphone balancing, seamless synchronization with your DAW, and preset MIDI files - all presented in a straightforward interface. Rio Grooves! offers composers and musicians around the world an intuitive and versatile approach to Brazilian rhythms for the very first time. Brazil’s musical diversity rivals the size of the country itself - the 5th largest territory and 5th largest population in the world. Its rich musical heritage is a consequence of the population’s deeply mixed origins. For over 500 years Brazil has been a melting pot of cultures with a significant African, European and Amerindian presence, while also embracing millions of Japanese and Middle Eastern immigrants and their descendants. Many unique and original music styles were developed under the influence of these myriad cultures in different regions of the country. One of the largest cities in the country and a large magnet for internal migrants from all over Brazil, Rio de Janeiro is a city where all rhythms make their presence known, especially during Carnival, when ensembles (“blocos”) of every kind parade the streets.

Maracatu percussive music is strongly repetitive, and is played as loud and as fast as possible.

In this paper we focus on the extraction of microtiming profiles towards the longer term goal of understanding how rhythmic perfor- mance in Maracatu is used to promote health and well- being.
