Introduction The Brazilian music may be viewed as being full of excitement, feeling, and joy, more so due to its long “simmering combination of heritage including the Amerindian, Portuguese and African sources meeting the global influences to produce a magical, mystical music” (Anon Para. 1). Generally, every part of Brazil boasts of rich music, and this is emphasized by Anon (Para. 1) who is on the view that “whether it is the poly rhythms from percussion instruments at a street corner or a sophiscated discussion of the current year’s Carnival songs, the culture shares a common inspiration through the music.” According to Anon (Para 2), “after 500 years of history, the Brazilian music developed some unique and original styles like the Choro, Forro, Frevo, Samba, Bossa Nova, and MPB among others.” Currently, Samba is certainly the most popular music from Brazil, with its appeal spreading across the world, although there are other genres from the same country that have received global recognition for a long time. In Brazil, just like in the USA and other nations that had African slaves, the slaves had a profound effect on the culture of Brazil and most noticeable in the music. Basically, Africans slaves “began arriving in Brazil around 1538, contributed decisively to the development of both rhythm and choreography (in dramatic dances and dances like” (Thomson Para. 7). Looking at the Brazilian music, one discovers that the extensive array of percussion instruments is of African origin, for example, all kinds of drums; the agogo, and the cuca. Another instrument is the berimbau de corpo, which is largely played in the capoeira, an exciting and “most beautiful martial art of folkric origin and is one of the greatest attractions for tourists visiting Salvador in Bahia” (Thomson Para. 9). The Samba dance The Samba is a legacy of the African slaves who came from Africa to Brazil during the colonization of the country by the Portuguese. The original word for Samba is ‘Semba’, which was an important aspect of the African slaves’ amusement, as well as a way of preserving the African culture. The word ‘Semba’ has its origin in Angola Africa and is found among the Quimbundo language speaking people in Angola, whose meaning is “to pray or appeal to the spirits of the ancestors or the Gods of African pantheon” ( Sedberg Para. 2); although it can also mean a “complaint, cry or something like “the blues”, “navel bump” which depicts the intimacy and ‘invitation to dance’” ( Sedberg Para. 2). Generally, dancing and singing have had a great influence in the emergence of Samba dance, more so in relation to culture and religion. Also Samba rhythms are found in “Capoeira, which is a Brazilian martial arts dance, and the Candomble” which has roots in African religion and “which has become part of Brazilian culture and religion” ( Sedberg , n.d). In addition, the dance has become popular in all the territories of Brazil (Welshe-Asante 82). Moreover, the dance has regional variations influenced by the African nations due to the influx of slaves. The dance is based upon common experiences and usually employs a kind of dance activity available to all participants who generally share the underlying emotion of life; and during the dance, the critical dynamics of the Brazilian society gets acted out
