Marchinha
Marchinha (Portuguese pronunciation: Axé music.
Marchinha is an extremely comic genre of music and the very name "marchinha" (little march) satirizes the seriousness of
percussion
.
The first marchinha was the composition (in 1899) of Chiquinha Gonzaga entitled "O Abre Alas", made to the Cordão Carnavalesco "Rosa de Outro".[1][2]
Marchinhas are composed and played to date by the blocos carnavalescos every year, in the "street carnival" of Rio de Janeiro.
