A perfect dose of Angolan rhythmic magic

I love this beautiful Lusophone African music track, full of warmth, drive and subtle melodic twists.

Dad: “Why did you tell your mom that I had hidden meat in the bushes?" Male lions use their roar to communicate with their cubs, assert their dominance, locate their offspring, warn other males to stay away from their territory and attract females for mating

Roots Of the Samba

Many scholars believe the origin of the word “samba” to be semba, a term in the Kimbundu language of Angola that refers to a choreographic move in which two people touch bellies as an invitation to dance (known in Portuguese as umbigada, from umbigo, meaning “navel”). The semba was a key trait of many dances brought to Northeast Brazil by enslaved Bantu people from the Kongo-Angola region of Africa. The Portuguese colonizers referred to these dances accompanied by percussion, handclapping, and singing generically as batuque. By the early 20th Century, “samba” replaced batuque as an umbrella term for such dances.
