Brazil has an ancient, complex, and intricate history. This has created a deep sense of culture and heritage as a variety of traditions, customs, colors, languages, and religious denominations have established themselves in this South American nation. Music, song, and dance remain integral parts of a society’s identity. Even the most primitive tribes tend to establish their own type of musical culture.
The different peoples who settled throughout Brazil brought with them and developed their own unique style of song and music. Over time, these different styles evolved somewhat. Some remained distinct and unique, while others influenced modern music and performances to some extent. This created a characteristic sound for Brazil.
Although the native Amerindians who once occupied the jungles of South America had already established their own styles of music, European settlers formalized them by beginning to introduce formal musical instruments, as well as foreign languages (predominantly Portuguese).
From the European occupation in the 16th century onward, Brazilian music took on a particularly European identity. Furthermore, these settlers brought large numbers of African people to work for them as slaves. They had an established tribal style, which also began to significantly influence Brazilian musical identity.
Today, Brazilian music is a complex integration of traditional folk music, modern experimentalism, and practically everything that exists between these extremes. In terms of classical music, some modern composers include 
Sílvio Ferraz, Ronaldo Miranda, and Jailton de Oliveira. National orchestras are internationally renowned for their skill and expertise.
Some of the other significant styles and types of music include:
• Capoeira: this traditional sport is never practiced without being accompanied by music, and it is rhythmic and choreographed by nature. Both the sport and the music have very distinct roots in African culture and originated when African slaves were brought to Brazil by Europeans. These songs often deal with beloved masters or the history of Capoeira itself.
• Carimbo: this originates from the east of the Amazon and now dominates the region. In the 60s, an electric element was introduced, creating a cutting-edge sound for the time. After that, musicians manipulated it to include other sounds, such as reggae and salsa. Evolving in this way, it became known as Lambada. When Lambada reached Bahia, local producers based it on synthesized sounds, adding a light rhythm.
• Choro or Chorinho: this style of music is instrumental and was born in the cultural center of Rio de Janeiro in the 1800s. It was initially played using flute, guitar, and cavaquinho (a string instrument). Ernesto Nazareth was one of Brazil’s most well-known choro composers, and his works included polkas, waltzes, Brazilian tangos, and more.
• Samba: this was popular among the masses and widely played on the radio during a time when radio was becoming well-known and loved in Brazil. Pandeiros, flutes, guitars, and cuícas were the perfect instruments to create the appropriate Samba atmosphere.
Of course, musical genres such as rock, heavy metal, and pop music are also found in Brazil and are enjoyed by niche audiences and sometimes by the masses as well.
