What does Brazillian samba music sound like?
Samba is a genre of Brazilian popular music that originated in the early 20th century. It is characterised by a strong, steady rhythm, as well as its lively and upbeat melodies. Samba music often incorporates elements of African and European music, as well as traditional Brazilian folk music. The most common instruments used in samba music are the samba whistle, the surdo, the tamborim, the pandeiro, and the clave.
