samba evolved alongside the growing importance of this cultural event, to the point where the two became deeply intertwined.

the importance of samba to the brazilian cultural heritage is not just connected with the dance, but also it transformed itself into several different forms, evolving with trends and society.

in the 1930s, samba de breque (break samba) arrived in the trail of the samba-canção, and was characterized for having pauses in the melody so to allow the singer to stand out.
