Bossa in 5/8 – Jequibau

The jequibau, or bossa in 5/8, is a style of bossa nova developed by maestro Mário “Jequibau” Albanese. He was influenced by the famous Paul Desmond’s 5/4 tune “Take Five” however not using a 3+2 metric to compose his quintuple meter, the way “Take Five” is. He was looking for a whole 5 feel and became with this Bossa/samba groove in 5. The HH can be broken or constant.

Below is my interpretation of the groove.
