Samba-Canção is a mix between Samba & Bolero, created back in the 1940s but still with many followers today.
Nana Caymmi, the daughter of Dorival Caymmi, composed and recorded this cool samba-canção just a few years ago. Edited by Atkingani - 28 Jul 2011 at 10:16pm |

While many artists tended to make Bossa Nova more jazzy others searched a bridge between Bossa Nova and Samba, being João Bosco a good example. Edited by Atkingani - 28 Jul 2011 at 10:15pm |

Partido Alto is another subgenre of samba, coming from the deep favela backyards there where a whitie is allowed only with a kind of visa.
The African roots are so noticeable that in some parts they use basically Yoruba instruments while in other they use mainly Angola instruments. Nelson Sargento, almost 90, is a survivor. Tereza Cristina is a new generation star. Edited by Atkingani - 28 Jul 2011 at 10:15pm |

Great, John. Anyway, having a small space for samba (and related rhythms) here in the General Music Discussions is attractive too.

Yes, Kazuhiro... even though many samba composers did choro too. Originally Choro was only instrumental, later some lyrics were added to choro. To make things a bit confused there's also the sub-genre samba-choro, where the slow Choro pace is accelerated by the samba beat, like this one: The original Choro song can be heard here (no lyrics): |

Is Choro music distinguished from Samba? I often listen to MPB and Bossa Nova and become comfortable. |

I'll check all this out Guigo. Right now we probably put Samba records in Latin Jazz or possibly World Fusion if it is Samba mixed with other elements.

After all that wonderful music.........Liked Ismael Silva and Ary Barrosa......something about that old stuff
I don't have a lot of Brazilian.....but I have Caetano Velosa, Maria Bethania (his sister as you would know), Sergio Mendes of course, 1 Gilberto Gil and thats his Bob Marley reggae album , Hermeto Pascoal, Flora Purim but I really dug this one which I bought years back and I am slapping it in the player now. I got a couple more albums of Daniela Mercury ...the next was good but I found the other after too poppy for me.

It became obvious that coming from the same nest one day Samba and Jazz should join again. The result was Bossa Nova.

The truth is that the samba that Carmen Miranda presented in the USA was much more in the Bahia style than in the Rio de Janeiro style.
This song was composed by Dorival Caymmi around 1938. |

Samba is not only a brand of Rio de Janeiro. Actually it is composed in all parts of Brasil, like Bahia where they play samba in a different mood, more slow, sweeter and warmer.
Dorival Caymmi (1914-2008) was the most famed of the Bahia style samba composers. Edited by Atkingani - 28 Jul 2011 at 10:17pm |

Meanwhile, some dreamers like Ary Barroso believed that samba could be the 'classical music' of Brazil. Amid his delirious he made this one well-known all over the world.
Here the original recording done in 1939. Check the arrangement extremely bold for the time. |

Back in the 1930s, while composers like Noel Rosa worked more in the urban side of samba other composers soldiered more to link samba with its African roots (origins of samba de raiz).

Thanks, Matt... I'll try to show the many faces of Samba (just like Jazz) and put it in a chronological order whenever possible.

Chico Buarque, the most prolific Brazilian popular composer is a die-hard fan of Noel Rosa. http://www.jazzmusicarchives.com/buarque-chico.aspx?ac=buarq
This 1937 song is considered by many as the pinnacle of the urban samba. The cover shown above was done by Chico Buarque in 1984. Edited by Atkingani - 27 Jul 2011 at 5:11pm |
