Samba Carnival, Japan

From year 2000, there were some artists who were looking to reconnect most popular traditions of samba. Were the cases of Marquinhos of Oswaldo Cruz, Teresa Cristina among others, that contributed to the revitalization of the region of Lapa, in the Rio de Janeiro. In São Paulo, samba resumed the tradition with concerts in Sesc Pompéia Club and also by the work of several groups, including the group Quinteto em Branco e Preto who developed the event "Pagode da Vela" ("Pagoda of Sail"). This all helped to attract many artists from Rio de Janeiro, who shows, established residence in neighborhoods of the capital paulistana.
In 2004, the minister of culture Gilberto Gil submitted to the Unesco the application of damping off of samba as Cultural Heritage of Humanity in category "Intangible Goods" by Institute of National Historical and Artistic Heritage. In the following year, the samba-de-roda of Baiano Recôncavo was proclaimed part of the Heritage of Humanity by Unesco, in the category of "Oral and intangible expressions."
In 2007, IPHAN gave the official record, the Book of Registration of Forms of Expression, the matrices of the samba of Rio de Janeiro: samba de terreiro, partido-alto e samba-enredo. Samba is a Brazilian dance and musical genre originating in African and European roots. The word is derived from the Portuguese verb sambar, meaning "to dance to rhythm." It is a worldwide recognized symbol of Brazil and the Carnival and is the national dance of Brazil. Considered one of the most popular Brazilian cultural expressions, the samba has become an icon of Brazilian national identity. The Bahian samba de roda (dance circle), which became a UNESCO Heritage of Humanity in 2005, was a basis of the samba carioca, the samba that is played and danced in Rio de Janeiro.
Although samba exists throughout the country—especially in the states of Bahia, Maranhão, Minas Gerais, and São Paulo—in the form of various popular rhythms and dances that originated from the regional batuque, a type of music and associated dance form from Cape Verde, the samba is a particular musical expression of urban Rio de Janeiro, where it was born and developed between the end of the 19th century and the first decades of the 20th century. It was in Rio that the dance practiced by former slaves who migrated from Bahia in the northeast came into contact and incorporated other genres played in the city (such as the polka, the maxixe, the lundu, and the xote, among others), acquiring a completely unique character and creating the samba carioca urbana (samba school) and carnavalesco (Carnaval school director). In reality, the samba schools are large organizations of up to 5000 people which compete annually in the Carnival with thematic floats, elaborate costumes and original music.
