similarly to samba-rock, samba-reggae is a genre that first took flight in brazil after musicians experimented with a number of different fusions - originating in bahia, located in the north-eastern part of brazil on the atlantic coast, samba-reggae is a mixture of brazilian samba and typically jamaican reggae.

perhaps unsurprisingly, this has led to a completely unique sound and the genre stands alone on the world's musical landscape - samba-reggae carries strong messages of ethnic identity and the pride of the afro-brazilians.
