'''Samba''' is a Latin [[music]] style that originates from [[Brazil]], and is often considered to be the national music style of that country. It is characterized by a driving syncopated [[rhythm]] played on a variety of [[percussion]] instruments, accompanied by repetitive, upbeat melodies played on [[brass instrument]]s. Samba music and the dancing associated with it often accompany occasions of celebration, such as [[carnival]]s and [[soccer]] games.
