Samba paulista

Samba paulista (in English: Paulista samba) is a musical and cultural expression that synthesizes historical, aesthetic, and social trajectories in the state of São Paulo. It emerged from rural manifestations—especially the samba de bumbo, associated with rural festivals—brought to the urban environment, where it transformed under the influence of working-class life and the peripheries. Throughout the 20th century, Paulista samba developed its own characteristics, both in instrumental formation and in themes and forms of sociability, distinguishing itself from other strands of Brazilian samba. Due to its national importance, it is listed as an intangible cultural heritage of the state of São Paulo by the Council for the Defense of Historical, Archaeological, Artistic and Tourist Heritage (CONDEPHAAT), while the samba de bumbo, an integral part of Paulista samba, is a Cultural Heritage of Brazil, by the National Institute of Historical and Artistic Heritage (Iphan).
