Samba hot Brazilian Dance

The name samba likely comes from the Angolan semba (or mesemba), a type of ritual music, but this has been disputed.[citation needed] Portuguese ethnographer and folklorist Edmundo Correia Lopes talks about a dance from the Portuguese Guinea to which Brazilian people gave the name of samba, which would be, according to him, a very close relative to Brazilian samba.
