Samba Heritage

Even with today's modern society with culturally rich and new genres of music, samba music continues to be a deep heritage that can be enjoyed by everyone. There has been a revitalization of Somba music within the 21st-century. This revitalization has come from the most popular artist and musicians, and it is a mixture of Latin culture and African Culture. Popular traditions of Somba have seen a reconnection within residence and neighborhood all across America and European regions. It's original roots stem from Rio de Janeiro, Lapa and in São Paulo.

Samba music has essentially become a cultural heritage of humanity. It has been marked within the Institute a National Historical and Artistic Heritage. Not only is Samba music popular for music listeners, but it is also popular for the dancing moves and rhythm that comes with it. The original music of Samba was sung and created by slaves, and anyone would agree that this music has a distinct and total sound of freedom.

Samba music sings of nothing but freedom, movement, and dancing to the heart is content. Somba got its widespread popularity within the 20th century, from a song called hello, "Pelo Telefone" or by phone. This song was authored by several people, but two of the main registered authors are Donga and Alemeda, which they were best known as. However, Donga's real name is Ernesto dos Santos and Alemeda's real name is Mauro de Alemeda. After Pelo Telefone was recorded in 1917, Somba became an urban and modern day success story. Furthermore, there are many genres that came out of the music of Somba. There is Somba--Cancao, Partido Alto, Somba-enredo, Samba de Breque, bossa nova, samba de gafieira, pagode and a version of samba-rock. It was not long after Pelo Telefone that the first radio stations began playing a variety of music that was classified as Somba.
