Samba is one of the most popular forms of music in Brazil. It is widely viewed as Brazil's national musical style. The name samba most probably comes from the Angolan semba (mesemba), a type of ritual music.
Other variants:
Bossa nova is essentially a type of samba, played with jazz instruments and sung with softer voices.
Samba-Reggae, also known as Axé Music or "Samba Duro" (Hard Samba) is a new poppish type of samba from Bahia (from 1985 onwards).
Samba de Roda is a ritual dance preserved in some Bahian towns.
Jongo is the Rio de Janeiro equivalent to it. |
