Samba:
Like
most of Brazilian music, it originated in the north-east region of Brazil
called Bahia. This was where most of the black slaves had been brought to
work on the plantations for the Portuguese. The majority of these slaves
came from Angola and other places in South West Africa. With the slaves,
came rhythms and sounds that constitute so much of Brazil's music. The
addictive rhythms that we know as Samba were born in Brazil, the fifth
largest country in the world. With so many forms and
variations, it is the combination of African, Native Indian and even
Iberian influences, that is so often found in the heavily populated
coastal areas of Brazil, that make Samba such a unique genre of music
