What's included in Cultural Treasure of Salvador - Samba
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Learn to dance Samba like a local! No partner or dance experience is required. Get ready to join an immersive experience about Brazilian culture, dance, music, and history! Samba is a Brazilian music genre that originated in the Afro-Brazilian communities of Bahia in the late 19th century. Unfortunately, African cultural manifestations such as Capoeira and Candomblé were viewed with suspicion and criminalized. Samba was no different. But in 100 years it has gone from being a persecuted culture to a symbol of a nation. Samba is now recognized by UNESCO as an "Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity". The class will take place at the first Capoeira School in Brazil - since 1937 - founded by Mestre Bimba, the creator of Capoeira Regional. The school was seen as a great quilombo of resistance, standing firm in the resourcefulness of cultural elements in the city of Salvador, and has been highly respected ever since.
