The rhythms of Candomblé (Afro-Brazilian traditional worship) are those used to accompany the dances and songs of the Orixas (Gods) in a ritual, folk or artistic contexts.

They are about 28 rhythms between the Nations (name of tribal origin and its set of rituals) of Keto, Jeje & Angola.

Four instruments are used: The (bell), the (drum acute), the Rumpi (drum middle) and Rum (drum major in charge of making changes).

Angola nation's rhythms are played with the hands while Keto and Jeje drum sticks called Aquidavis are used.

The classes look at each rhythm and their respective instruments through notes, Cds and other support material, and are adapted to the needs of each student.

It also addresses some songs (original language, phonetics and translation) and aspects of dance.
