      ab: The article explores the microrhythmic phenomena in Bahian percussion rhythms and how they relate to the production of a suingue baiano or "Bahian swing." Microrhythmic nuances can play an important role in generating groove as shown by the musical computer programs aimed at stimulating or generating a so-called human or feel factor. The research suggests the importance of microrhythmic phenomena in all aspects of rythmic performances in Bahian samba percussion.
