🇧🇷 || Samba is one of the most popular Afro-Brazilian music and dance styles to emerge from the South American country. With roots in Brazilian folk traditions, including those brought from Angola and the Congo, samba was established as a genre in the early 20th century. In the 1950s, the style was popular in favelas, and today it has a strong association to Carnival in Rio de Janeiro. 🎥: @moyoafrika Follow @africachanneltv | The Africa Channel

Afro-Brazilian culture runs deep in the heartbeat of Brazil — from Salvador to Rio, from the rhythms of samba to the strength of Candomblé. Over 56% of Brazil’s population identifies as Black or of African descent, making it one of the largest African diasporas outside of Africa itself.
