The Portuguese imported Angolan slaves into Brazil. They brought their music. Indigenous and European influences shaped the sound and its spicyness became popular. Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in "Flying Down to Rio" made it more so ... Carmen Miranda in her films made Samba even sexier and spicier. It was further popularised by Princess Margaret. 21 tracks including: - Caramba, It"s The Samba - Carnival In Rio - Gira! - The Vaudou Samba - Os Quindins De Ya Ya - El Truco de Pernambuco - Cumana - Matto Grosso
