Samba
is a popular music genre and is internationally recognized as the dance of
Brazil. It’s a mixture of many cultural elements from Africa, Europe,
and the Indigenous people of Brazil. While the origins of samba are
disputed it has roots in the traditional religious ceremonies. Each year
the Escolas de Samba (Samba Schools) perform the Samba as a street dance
at Carnaval, a pre-Lent celebration. Samba has come to symbolize racial
and social harmony.
