Samba schools have their roots in Afro-Brazilian culture and originated in Rio de Janeiro, at the beginning of the 20th century. The emergence of samba schools is associated with the process of urbanization and migration of the black population to Brazilian cities, mainly to Rio de Janeiro, then the country's capital. Initially, samba schools were not formal institutions, but rather groups of people who came together to celebrate Afro-Brazilian culture through samba, dance and percussion. These meetings took place in spaces such as backyards, Candomblé temples and bars.
