`Saaambaa, a gente nao perde o prazer de sambar`
Today, in brazil, we celebrated the Samba Day. But why today? The National Day of Samba has been initiated by a city councilman from Bahia, Luis Monteiro da Costa, to pay tribute to Ary Barroso. Ary had already composed his hit "Na baixa do sapateiro," but had never set foot in Bahia. This was the date he visited Salvador for the first time. Funny, no? The party was spreading throughout Brazil and became a national commemoration.
Currently two cities tend to celebrate the Day of Samba, Salvador and Rio de Janeiro. Under the baton of musician Edil Pacheco, Salvador has always promoted major concerts in Pelourinho with the great and unjustly unknown local samba. People like Riachão, Ederaldo Gentil, Nelson Rufino Roque Ferreira, Walter Queiroz himself Edil, and the late Batatinha, receiving most famous guests, such as Paulinho da Viola, Elza Soares, Beth Carvalho, Dona Ivone Lara.
In Rio the party is great fun because of the Pagode do trem. The idea arose when the residents of Oswaldo Cruz decided to create a movement to revitalize the neighborhood, was "Acorda, Oswaldo Cruz`. On the Day of Samba everybody meets in Central do Brasil, get a train and play and sing until Oswaldo Cruz neighborhood, there are formed thousand of samba circles.
Once started, it was discovered that had been created decades earlier by one of the most important figures in the neighborhood, Paulo da Portela. At that time the samba was being chased by police. The samba performers did their lively meetings and promoted within the wheels of the train wagons. Today the Pagode do trem is part of the city's official calendar and each year has been more full.
