History of Márcio Farias - Viseu, Portugal
Samba was born in Bahia in the 19th century, influenced by African culture and slave festivals. In 1910, it gained prominence in Rio de Janeiro, mixing with other rhythms. Despite the first registration in 1917, samba grew in the 1930s with samba schools and radio. Singers such as Noel Rosa, Cartola and others marked its history. Over time, styles such as party alto, samba-enredo and Samba-Rock emerged, the latter becoming a popular ballroom dance.
