Samba, of course, was mixed race music, with its roots in both Africa and Europe, and promoting samba suited / the Vargas policy of encouraging Brazilian unity 1 by celebrating ethnic 2 integration 3.
And yet throughout the 1930s, Vargas continued to develop strong links with European fascist 4 states, including Nazi 5 Germany, where such ideas would surely have horrified 6 those who believed in Aryan supremacy 7.
In January 1936, there was a special edition of the radio program "Hora do Brazil", broadcast directly from Brazil to Nazi Germany. It included government-approved songs written by black musicians.
"A very important part of the show was the samba music from the Samba Schools. And I always think about the Nazi German listening to that kind of very black, very African Brazilian music."
President Vargas made samba respectable and it was now appropriated by middle-class Brazilians. Old style sambas about malandros were still popular in the poor black parts of town but were now officially censored 8. The middle-class favored a more melodic 9 sophisticated style, samba cancao and songs that praised the glory and the beauty of Brazil.
Samba's broad new appeal was helped by exceptional composers, like Ary Barroso, the son of a lawyer, whose Aquarela do Brazil, Watercolor of Brazil, became almost a national anthem 10.
Unlike carnival 11 samba, or samba enredo, samba cancao could be sung by individuals as well as Mass bands.
