Brazuca Sounds #68: Sambas About Samba

In this episode, we celebrate samba once again by listing 10 different songs whose subject is the samba itself. A metalinguistic samba so to speak, where the music genre is the character - one would be impressed by how many songs are out there! Among the highlights are Dorival Caymmi's "O Samba da Minha Terra", Zé Keti's "A Voz do Morro", and Novos Baianos' "Na Cadência do Samba" (written by Ataulfo Alves). We also talked about Noel Rosa, Vinícius de Moraes, Nelson Sargento, Paulinho da Viola, Elza Soares, Jair Rodrigues, Alcione, and the mainstream samba ballads. Access our playlist with all these songs on Spotify: Brazuca Sounds Soundtracks.

And hey!, you may be interested in two previous episodes, History of Samba in 10 Albums, and History of Samba in 25 Songs.
