Repeatedly . . .

Call:  Arbitrary pattern from the repinique (two clavé patterns-worth unless indicate otherwise )
Response: eveyone mimics the call

Ending signalled by the chamada again

Clip: Olodum break

This is complex - details to follow

In this the surdos continuously beat out the sixteenths - with a bit of feel.
The signal is a wobbly hand, which may carry on throughout the break (could cue then signal with countdown if preferred)

Repeat ad infinitum-ish
It's brought to an end by a signal, either

Ending 1. wo downward waves of one hand. Here's maestrina Elem Silva teaching it to her meninos band: working on the repiniques closing it
