percussion rhythms Explanation: Portuguese: Malhos, baquetas English: Mallets, drumsticks, respectively The DJs are possibly talking about mixing all "percussion rhythms" existing in the disc tracks. As such rhythms are produced by drumsticks and mallets, they refer to them as "malho", by interpolating the words "malhos" and "baquetas", which are closely related. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 11 hrs (2014-02-13 14:38:59 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Or, simply, percussion, so that "percussion" = "malho". On the other hand, as far as I know, the word "rhythmic" is an adjective!! |

[great / awesome] music / musical arrangement / sounds Explanation: Some time ago I used to be around musicians and I remember they would often refer to good music --mostly instrumental guitar arrangements/compositions-- as 'grande / boa malhA'. Could 'malho' be another way of expressing the same idea? Please see: boa malha • [Informal] Coisa agradável, em especial música. "malha", in Dicionário Priberam da Língua Portuguesa [em linha], 2008-2013, http://www.priberam.pt/dlpo/malha [consultado em 13-02-2014]. |
