 This is the story of a country whose music has seduced 1 the outside world and taken on an importance that goes far beyond entertainments.


 
You want to learn about Brazilian history without going through the books? You can just listen to the music and you’ll understand everything.
 
Brazilian music is having a very enormous effect, Brazilian music, art… 
 
In Brazil, music is a national passion. Wildly varied 2 styles from Bossa Nova to distinctively 3 Brazilian forms of Reggae, hip-hop have projected rival views of how the country should see itself and be regarded abroad while politicians have used music to try to bring unity 4 to the largest state in South America.
 
This is a story in which leading musicians are censored 5 and jailed and a one time rival,Gilberto Gil, becomes Brazil’s first black government minister. And it starts with the music that dominates and defines this vast multi-racial state/, Samba.
 
Samba is the best-known, most enduring style in Brazil. It’s the Samba rhythm that provides the backdrop for the 
 
spectacular Rio Carnival 6 and for sophisticated dance songs that have helped to bring Brazil the exotic image enjoyed 
 
around the world.
 
But Samba also includes laments 7 about life in the shantytowns, the favelas, and sounds that address the recurring 8 themes of race and poverty in a society that prides itself on being a racial democracy but where the most black/ are often the most poor.
