now, strangely enough this new form of samba made its way back to bahia from rio de janeiro, but having been highly influenced by musicians in the city, it took on a completely different style - for this reason, the city of salvador experienced a boom in samba schools based on the rio style, not to mention blocos, which performed rio-style samba at the yearly carnival parades.

however, rather ironically afro-brazilians did not typically participate in either the schools or parades - therefore, samba-reggae came about as a counter-reaction by afro- brazilians.
