Samba is life! Music for Brazilian people is everything. With music they wake up, play football, eat… it’s more like a living philosophy than a simple sound combined with rhythm and shaken with booty movements. And they move themselves well in and around Rio! The Samba history museum is very fascinating: instruments, historical pics. The walls exude originality. There is nothing fake here, you are even surprised that it is more frequented by Brazilians than boring and rigid tourists like me.
