Samba in Rio de Janeiro

Samba is Brazil – a dance and musical style with its roots in Brazil and ties to African religious traditions. Long recognized as a symbol of Brazil and the raucous Carnival, samba is one of Rio’s most popular cultural expressions.

Samba has become an icon of Brazilian national identity as vivid as the Christ Redeemer Statue. But just as important, samba is Rio’s spirit, its entertainment and a special source of joy. Locals and visitors alike can join in the spirit of Samba and its derivatives (samba de Gafieira, Pagoda, Axé) by visiting the dance clubs, especially in Lapa.
