Re: [Harp-L] What's this Quote?

The lick characteristic that begins both tunes (flat7 - 6 - 5 - flat7) is very fairly common and probably comes up in several songs in a variety of cultures with no real connection to one another. My guess is that this similarity is a coincidence. And, although you can't really hear it in the online clip that include a quote from Baiao, the resemblance is really limited to that four-note beginning lick. Baiao goes on the do several things melodically and harmonically that don't happen in the Cajun tune.

Yeah. So if 'Baião'm and 'Bosco stomp/Cajun Stripper' are that
close,
then I suspect that the tune 'travelled', or there is a common
ancestral
tune that both these cultures (Brazillian and Cajun) inherited it from.
The Carribean connection I suspect; I wouldn't be surprised to find
something similar in the islands too.
Thanks for confirming my 'sighting' Luciano!
Cheers,
RD
