Whether you're a beginner or a veteran, these resources will enrich your understanding of the berimbau toques and help you learn new ways to play.
- Berimbau Basics: These video clips, performed by a member of Capoeira Da Rua, show you three basic berimbau tones, five basic exercises, and five toques.
- Many Toques by Many Mestres: This page offers a comprehensive listing of toques and their uses in the game (text is in French). The best part is the wide variety of sound clips; for example, you can hear the toque of Iúna played by Bimba, Camisa, Suassuna, Boneco, Moraes, and more! It's excellent for comparing different mestres' interpretations of the same rhythm.
- Toques by Mestre Virgulino: Mestre Virgulino of Cordão de Ouro gives an introduction to the berimbau and plays 12 different toques.
- Berimbau Toques with Notation: If you prefer to see the toques written out with musical notation, check out this page with 10 common toques.
