SAMBA, the most famous carnival of Rio de Janeiro, in Brazil. It is the rich display of
Brazilian culture and heritage. Samba is a weeklong gala consisting of dancing,musical
and fun-filled events. Samba Dance is a kind of art.
Samba, the festival of festivals dates back to 1723, filled with night-long
partying,drinking,vibrant costumes and glittering business.
The Schools of Samba in Rio de Janeiro prepare their dancers for the whole year and
finally present a magnificent show at the Carnival parade with their flaunting Samba
dance steps.Samba dance is a set of dances than a single form of dance. Personally, I
feel that the Samba music is what makes the dance steps. There are a various forms of
dancing this rhythmic dance.
Samba Dance consists of many steps and I have seen so many steps and I didn’t
restrict at only one.

isruling the Haute-ness of costumes.
The old Brazilian ball-room dance, full of energy and fast beats lead by hip hop, pop
music will rule the costume’s styles, giving them bright, “get-up and dance” feeling.
The rich and glitter enriched collection is a total display of Brazilian’s lustrous yet
culturally historic Samba Festival.
3. LITERATURE REVIEW:
CARNIVAL:
The word carnival is derived from the Italian Carne Vale or Carnival. Its Italian means
goodbye to flesh or farewell to meat, which is not eat up during the period of Lent.
However, it is believed that in preparation for Lent, the four days to prepare the way to
Ash Wednesday becomes a feasting period with dancing and partying before the more
peaceful season between Ash Wednesday and Easter. Hence preceding to the 46 days
of Lent, Carnival is seen as an opportunity to hold a large celebration before the fasting
season.
Carnivals are celebrated in many countries but the one in Brazil is most famous. The
most famous carnival is that of Rio de Janeiro.

It date of first carnival activity in Rio de Janeiro was in 1723. The Capital city of Rio de
Janeiro is meaningful in the history of carnival.
From the 1950's to 1960's, Brazil carnival balls and partying develop into the now full
blown rarer show that it similar today.
There were further meaningful developments in the history of carnival, which over time
elements derived from Native American and African cultures, (which are more dominant
in carnivals in Brazil northeast today). One such element being the Samba, which is
4. from the West African tradition of Brazil and was to become a natural part of modern
day carnival in Brazil.
The next histrionic chapter in the history of Brazil carnival occurred during the very
liberating 1960's, which shaped carnivals in Brazil into what it is today. It is conclude
that in excess of a quarter of a million tourists visit for carnival Brazil each year. It is little
wonder, when you consider that the Brazilian carnival is known worldwide and attract
carnival lovers of every age, gender and religion from both within and outside Brazil.
The Carnival of Brazil is an annual festival held forty days before Easter. On certain
days of Lent, Roman Catholics and some other Christians traditionally refrained from
the feeding of meat and poultry, hence the term "carnival," from carnelevare, "to remove
(exactly, "raise") meat. Carnival celebrations are believed to have roots in the pagan
festival of Saturnalia, which, adapted to Christianity, became a farewell to bad things in
a season of religious discipline to practice regret and prepare for Christ's death and
rebirth.
Rhythm, participation, and costumes vary from one region of Brazil to another. In the
southeastern cities of Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo, huge organized parades are led
by samba schools. Those official parades are meant to be watched by the public, while
minor parades ("blocos") agreeing public participation can be found in other cities. The
northeastern cities of Salvador have organized groups parading through streets, and
public cooperates directly with them. This carnival is heavily influenced by African-
Brazilian culture. Crowds follow the trio electrics floats through the city streets.

6. SAMBA DANCE:
Samba Origins:
Samba is one of the truest Brazilian features. If you talk about samba, you talk about
Brazil. Like Brazil itself, samba is the result of the contact of many different influences
and blends. The main samba roots were initially the African rhythms BATUQUE and
LUNDU. Played mainly with drums and clapping the hands. Later, other elements from
European rhythms were combined through the use of new instruments like the clarinet,
flute and guitar.
Europe + Africa in Brazil
After being discovered Brazil became a Portuguese colony and most of its
naturalpeopleleft with the European jobs. During its 300 grand years, Brazil was made
into a large producer of sugar cane. The hugeaddition of land was working with slaves
brought from Africa to work in the sugar cane farms, while the Portuguese farmers
formed a small leadingsuperiority.
In Africa, many people were attacked and destroyed and their people sent to Brazil to
work as slaves in the sugar production. From these sad years of freedomBrazil inborn
its strong link to the African culture in many ways: in the food, in the music, in the
people features and worships.
In some regions of Brazil, the black African culture is celebrated as one of the most
important influences in the Brazilian history and culture. The State of Bahia is the
strongest focus of the African heritage. Where slaves were injured for many periods
before the Ending Law of 1888.
Mixing the Brazilian characteristic happiness in life.The African freedom mix together
with the celebration for Freedom that came with the Ending law. As a result of so many
mixtures the difficult structure of the BRAZILIAN society was formed. Where SAMBA
was born as an expression of differences.

HISTORY:
Samba is an old Brazilian style of dance with many variations and African in origin. It
has been performed as a street dance at carnival the pre-Lenten celebration for almost
100 years. Many types of the Samba are danced at the local carnival in Rio.
The samba dance history is a rich cultural one. Brazil in the 19th century, samba
dances are done to samba music, and like there are many types of samba music and
there are many types of samba dances.
Samba music is most often in 2/4 time. However, there are three steps so it often feels
like one is dancing in 3/4 time instead of 2/4 time. The rhythm is fast and full of energy,
so the music encourages people to really get up and dance. Whether one gets up to do
a solo samba or to dance a samba with a partner.The music will move you to the dance
floor or into the street such as during a Carnival celebration.
While samba has become a popular ballroom dance as well.Samba is originally a Latin
dance. The original samba is very different from the ballroom style dance which has
been named samba. Of course the ballroom style dance has close connections to the
original samba. However Rio de Janeiro who sees a ballroom competition with the
sound off will possibly not know a samba as what they would call a samba.
8. The ballroom Samba or Carioca Samba is derived from the rural "Rocking Samba" and
has been known for many years. The Carioca is a small river that runs through Rio de -
Janiero. Hence the name Carioca refers to the people of Rio.
Today Samba is still very popular in Rio. During carnival time there are "schools of
Samba" involving thousands of costumed dancers presenting a national theme based
on music of Brazil and Rio.
Before 1914 it was famous under a Brazilian name "Maxixe". As early as 1923 an
international meeting of professors of dancing took note of the increase of the Samba's
popularity mostly in France. A French dance book published by Paul Boucher in 1928
included Samba instructions.
The dance was introduced to United States movie audiences in 1933 when Fred Astaire
and Dolores Del Rio danced the Carioca in Flying Down to Rio and some years later,
Carmen Miranda danced the Samba in That Night in Rio.
A Samba exhibition was given at the November 1938 meeting of the New York Society
of Teachers of Dancing. Over-all interest in the Samba was inspired at the 1939 in New
York, where Samba music was played at the Brazilian building.
A few years later the Brazilian writerAryBarros wrote the classic Samba, "Brazil" which
quickly became a success and in 1944 he went to Hollywood to write the score for the
musical Brazil.
The Samba is now popular ballroom dance limited pretty, too much experienced
ballroom dancers because of its speed.
QUOTE ABOUT SABMA DANCE
“Aquípelonossomato, Qúestavaentãomuitatamba, Não se sabia de outracoisa,
Senão a dança do samba.”
"Around our village here, which was quite stupid by then, there was nothing else
we knew, besides the samba dance."

Sacramento Lopes Gama. Lopes like many other people of the upper class that likes
