the beloved national musical creation of samba has spread at an international level, influencing a variety of musicians worldwide - in a similar fashion, some regional and foreign sounds have also influenced sambistas who were looking to create an innovative rhythm.

samba house is a subgenre born after dj's took the lively traditional sound and blended it with computer-based percussive beats, ultimately making an electronic dance music, ideal for raves and nightclubs - sampling this samba-styled sound has brought new music to the world of samba.
