Brazil & its Music – History of Brazilian Music Culture

music_brazil_documentary

Brazil and Music begins in  the days of slavery, when an estimated 4 million Africans were forcibly moved to Brazil, and traces the development of samba from the poor black areas of Salvador and Rio, where it was initially banned, to its fusion with European styles and its move to the mainstream. After 500 years of history the Brazilian music developed some unique and original styles like choro, sertanejo, brega, forró, frevo, samba, maracatu, bossa nova, MPB, brazilian rock, axé and others.
