samba Info

samba

Born in the mid-1910s at get-togethers of Bahian sweets vendors living in Rio de Janeiro, then the Federal District, samba was boosted into prominence by radio in the mid-1920's, prompting the formation of samba groups (escolas de samba). The samba composer, Noel Rosa showed that samba, already rich in rhythm, could also be rich in content, and later incorporated variations and influences of all types. More than just a genre, samba has become part of Brazilian musical identity.
