Despedidas
Various kinds of despedidas, or "goodbyes," are
sometimes sung to end the roda. Often, these are accompanied by a
ritualistic procession, begun by berimbau gunga.
Participants may stand and walk in a circle, at which time it is permitted to
comprar o jogo (or "buy into the game"). The procession may also leave
the space in a single file, passing the gunga player (usually the mestre)
as they exit. The only instrument that remains stationary is the atabaque.
At other times, a roda may end with the toque de samba, after which a
samba circle erupts.
