Samba

Samba (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈsɐ̃bɐ] (listen)), also known as samba urbano carioca (Urban Carioca Samba) or simply samba carioca (Carioca Samba) is a Brazilian music genre that originated in the Afro-Brazilian communities of Rio de Janeiro in the early 20th century. Having its roots in Angola and in Brazilian folk traditions, especially those linked to the primitive rural samba of the colonial and imperial periods, is considered one of the most important cultural phenomena in Brazil and one of the country symbols.
