The origin of the samba
The samba originated in the early 20th century in the poor neighborhoods of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It was born from a mixture of different musical styles, including African rhythms, European melodies and indigenous influences.
Originally, samba was an expression of Afro-Brazilian culture and served as an outlet for the joy, pain and hope of the people in the favelas.
