"Brazilian samba music emerged in th 19th century as part of pre-Lenten Carnival festivities in Rio de Janeiro. During the 1920s samba groups were organized into "schools" that would compete against one another during Carnival for prizes. Samba, which also refers to an accompanying dance form, is of African origin, with its percussion-dominated rhythms being traced to religious possession dances. The various drums, or bateria, are considered powerful instruments with supernatural connections to pagan gods."
