Practice loop sampled from the intro of Resolução by Edu Lobo, the great Brazilian songwriter. Style is bossa nova, tempo is quarter note = 167— standard bright bossa tempo. The sample is an arranged lick, rather than a straight groove, so maybe this will be a chance to work on your bossa-type stuff without being locked into the stock rhythms.
