Musical Culture of Brazil

Musical culture of Brazil

What is music? Music is a universal language. It crosses cultural and ethnic backgrounds. People relate to music through expressive and receptive communication. Music is very important in our social. It is related to everything. We cannot live in the world without music. Some people may feel that I was exaggerated. But that's true and that does happened in Brazil. Music is the heart of Brazil and is the foundation for many of their festivities. I think samba has to be the heart of Brazil's music and I want to find out why is it so popular in Brazil.

After I watch the video at class, I thought about Samba a lot. Samba is a powerful and versatile server application. Even seasoned system administrators must know its abilities and limitations before attempting installation and configuration. And the lecture also talks about this a little bit.

And we listen to story that this song wants to tell us. So it's really not about races.

According the lecture that I've read, it talks about Africa musical culture a lot through rhythms of resistance. It says, "In nine chapters, the author treats (respectively) the heritage, Brazil's Atlantic dances, the emergence of Brazilian popular music, and Maxine and modern samba (Gerard. Béhague)." Samba, The musical culture that has spread throughout Brazil is astonishing. He who embarks on a musical journey is bound to be captured in an endless world of rhythm and harmony. Brazil is without doubt the most musical country on the planet. Their music embraces everybody who welcomes music with heart and soul. Samba is the most famous of the various forms of music arising from African roots in Brazil. From the lecture and the information I research from Internet, it is said that Samba connects everyone in Brazil because whatever they are rich or poor they all like to dance the Samba. Samba already became a natural part of the Brazilian
