What is Samba?

What is Samba? - A syncopated, smooth dance style which was invented in the late 1800s as part of Brazil’s carnaval celebrations. Carnaval sambas were typically performed by large percussion ensembles, and were an expression of Brazil’s West African heritage. Later on, in the 1920s and ’30s, samba became increasingly complex, as writers such as Ary Barroso transformed it into a pop style, blending African rhythms with European melodies. This dance is great for the ladies and guys body movement. Samba can have great benefits for your fitness and other latin type dances too.
