SAMBA

SAMBA ORIGINS

Samba is rooted in the African culture and musical practices of ancient African slaves and their descendents, since it is intrinsically connected with the dances (umbigadas), and the batuques - the sounds of percussion instruments - of these people. But, for many experts, besides this predominant influence, there is also the influence of some colonial and native Indian music.
