Samba is one of the most iconic Brazilian music genres. It originated in the early 20th century in the slums of Rio de Janeiro, and it quickly became a symbol of Brazilian identity. Samba is characterized by its fast tempo, lively rhythms, and call-and-response vocals. It is typically played on a variety of percussion instruments, including the tamborim, the pandeiro, and the surdo.

Forró is a popular dance music, and it is often played at parties and festivals. It is also a popular genre for weddings and other special occasions.
