What is going on with Samba this year?
A lot of them have been so good.
After the Cha Cha Cha and Salsa, the Samba is normally my least favourite dance. But this year it has been mostly my favourite. Pixie, Jakes, Caroline's, steves. What's happening?! |

Maybe it hasn't been rammed down this year's bunch of celebs that samba is a "really difficult dance" as it has been in previous years?

Cuba is known for son, salsa and - most recently - their own versions of reggaeton. |

People being very pedantic on here. Didn't know a degree in Geography and the history of dance was essential. They are Latin dances and that's all that really matters,

Samba comes from Brazil.

I am not sure it is fine to lump and entire continent and a diverse body of music under one vague label. It would be like lumping a polka and an Irish reel together and calling it generically - European dances I guess. As an afterthought I have just started to wonder if Cali salsa has taken influences from street samba - anyone know? Last edited by An Thropologist : 02-11-2014 at 11:40. Reason: after thought |
