The
Boiadeiro, or cowboy, is one of the spirits given praise during Umbanda
worship. Unlike sacred music in Candomblé, praise songs in
Umbanda show a
great deal of influence from secular music in the same region, especially
samba: duple meter, more distinctly Brazilian melodies, and portuguese
rather than Yoruban lyrics. The instrumentation is the same as in
Candomblé.
3 atabaques: rum (tumba), rumpi (segundo), lé (quinto), ago-gô,
and ganzá (optional).
