It has roots in African rhythms and traditions, brought to Brazil by enslaved people. Samba is characterized by its syncopated beats, vibrant melodies, and energetic movements, often performed during celebrations and festivals. The most famous celebration featuring Samba is the Rio Carnival, where samba schools compete in elaborate parades.
