Brazil

Bossa Baristo, a Bossa Nova with some different bell and tamborim rhythms. Melody and rhythm pattern in one hand, that's challenging. Sheet music is available here.
Percussive Bass. A bass will sound better when it is a little percussive. To experiment play one of the bass notes short and give it an extra rhythm.
Moving Pedal Point. A pedal point can be static but also moving, just give it rhythm. A percussive left hand gives another vibe.
