In the 1930s
History of Rose Ferreira - Sao Paulo, Brasil
In the 1930s, a period known as the Golden Age of popular song, samba consolidated itself as Brazil's national music. While it is adopted by white middle-class composers, it also gives deserved recognition to the black people who gave rise to this musical genre. Meaningful interracial partnerships emerge. Getúlio Vargas' decree, allowing radio stations to broadcast advertisements during their programs, marks the beginning of fees and drives the professionalization of the musical class. The innovation of electrical recording opens space for singers with softer voices, such as Mário Reis and Carmen Miranda, to enter the phonographic universe, moving samba away from operatic excesses. Quickly, Reis, Carmen and others became radio idols. The official parade of the samba schools is established, and samba shares the preference of Rio revelers with the march.
