Samba

Samba music is one of the first musical genres that come to mind when people think of music and culture from Brazil. It is a musical form rooted in African rhythms and has an important role in Afro-Brazilian culture. Samba is typically associated with Rio de Janeiro and carnival, but samba music and carnival has an important history in São Paulo as well.  Some of the most important samba musicians and blocos (samba schools for carnival) are from São Paulo.
