英语听力：自然百科 从桑巴到巴萨诺瓦 Samba To Bossa—3（在线收听） |
The samba rhythm developed from percussion styles used in Candomble, an African influenced religion which was banned in the slave era. In Candomble ceremonies, drummers call down different gods, or orixas who are said to act as guides and guardians for the believers. This is a religion that evolved from deception. Slaves worshipped African gods while pretending that they were praying to the Catholic saints of the Portuguese. African beliefs and Catholicism began to mix, but the African rhythms used in Candomble didn’t change.
Samba takes its name from the African Angolan style semba which in Bahia was transformed by the slaves into a circle dance that was known as samba de roda or samba de Chula. |
