Samba is one of the most popular forms of music and dance in Brazil. Moreover, It is widely viewed as Brazil's national musical style. The name semba (please note the difference in spelling) most probably comes from the Afro Brazilian "lundu"( XVIII century), also known as umbigada or batuque: a mixture of African rhythym brought from the slaves of Angola who lived in Bahia state. |

Although we still have more than 160 days to go for Rio 2009 Carnival, backstage parade negotiations for technical posts and drum queens are at full speed. Didn't understand? Let me explain you: Carnival in Rio has several activities throughout the year, but some of its highlights before the official Carnival Parade, are the samba school theme definition and drum queen contests. Both of these activities are organized by Rio´s Samba Schools, between carnival ´s official end and the parade in the following year. |

So, this is the Brazil. This is what Rio de Janeiro is really all about. When the Carnival arrives, companies close down, shops shut their doors early, and streets are closed off to make way for dancing, parties and parades. This awe inspiring festivity not only provides entertainment for the thousands of people attending the Carnival, but also for the millions watching it on their televisions, giving them a chance to learn about the true culture of Brazil. |
