samba Info
- samba
- Born in the mid-1910s at get-togethers of Bahian sweets vendors living in Rio de Janeiro, then the Federal District, samba was boosted into prominence by radio in the mid-1920's, prompting the formation of samba groups (escolas de samba). The samba composer, Noel Rosa showed that samba, already rich in rhythm, could also be rich in content, and later incorporated variations and influences of all types. More than just a genre, samba has become part of Brazilian musical identity.
escola de samba Info
-
- Escolas de samba are not actually “schools”. In 1928, the first carnival performance group — initially called Deixa Falar, later Estácio de Sá — was created in Rio de Janeiro by samba composer Ismael Silva. From Rio, the custom of having parades by escolas de samba spread to other cities of Brazil. Contrary to what the name suggests, the samba “schools” do not give samba lessons per se. Each samba group organizes its annual parade and holds parties and rehearsal presentations all year round. Many samba groups actively participate in the community and carry out social projects. Escolas de samba have a defined structure, including a president, a carnavalesco (creative director), the samba-enredo (annual theme song with lyrics), puxador de samba (leading samba singer who keeps the beat going), and the distinguished couple that leads the parade. The parade consists of the porta-bandeira (holder of the samba group's banner) and the mestre-sala (master of ceremonies), bateria (percussion section), many carros alegóricos (theme floats) and numerous alas (wings, or sections), notably that of the baianas, traditional women from Bahia wearing hoop skirts, lace blouses, headcloths, panos da costa (traditional shawls), sandals, necklaces, earrings and costume jewelry. The contestant samba groups compete for points awarded after the parade according to the rules. Depending on the results of the count the groups move on to be semi-finalists and finalists. Each announcement of finalists brings fervent bursts of emotion and celebration. The categories are: themes and accessories, percussion section, opening section, evolution, lyrics, costumes, harmony, master of ceremonies and banner holder, and the samba-enredo.
