Samba De Roda

Samba de Roda is a rich, traditional music genre originating from the Afro-Brazilian communities of the Bahia state and is integral to the samba family. Recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage, Samba de Roda blends infectious rhythms, graceful dance, and communal participation. With roots tracing back to African slave cultures, it incorporates elements like the call-and-response vocal patterns, the use of hand drums such as atabaques, pandeiros, and the berimbau, as well as string instruments like the viola. It is characterized by a circular dance arrangement, where individuals showcase improvised, expressive dance moves in the center of the circle while the others clap and sing along. This communal celebration stands not just as a performance but as a cultural expression that reflects the history, struggles, and joys of its people.
