Samba

From HitStory, the pop encyclopedia of School of Rock · Genre

Samba arose in the Afro-Brazilian neighbourhoods of Rio de Janeiro; Pelo Telefone (1917) is regarded as the first recorded samba. The music is in 2/4 and is driven by percussion, and from the 1930s samba became the music of carnival and of the radio. In 1958, João Gilberto and Antônio Carlos Jobim made a soft, restrained version of it: bossa nova.
