back   Samba Canção - Brasil de Todos os Cantos
On a more intimate scale than the famous Samba-Enredo which dominates Carnival, and musically more inventive, is samba-canção, which is produced by one singer and a small back-up band, who play around with basic samba rhythms. In Rio it's especially popular with the middle-aged, who are not able to gyrate quite as energetically as they did in their youth.
