{ "id": "brazilian_samba_de_roda", "name": "Brazilian samba de roda do Recôncavo", "family": "global", "lineage": "Brazilian samba de roda Afro-Brazilian circle-dance tradition of the Recôncavo Baiano region (the coastal-inland area surrounding the Bay of All Saints in the state of Bahia, northeastern Brazil). Samba de roda is the most direct surviving ancestral form of all later Brazilian sambas — the Recôncavo Baiano region's population descended from West-African (Yoruba and Bantu) enslaved peoples brought to Bahia during the seventeenth-and-eighteenth-century Portuguese slave-trade, and samba de roda preserves the most direct Afro-Brazilian linguistic and rhythmic continuity. Performance configuration: a circle (roda) of participants, with one or two dancers moving into the center of the circle in turn to perform the characteristic samba-de-roda footwork (the umbigada navel-bump greeting an iconic moment in each turn), while the surrounding circle plays the percussion battery — atabaque barrel-drums, pandeiro frame-drum-with-jingles, viola machete small five-string lute (the genealogically older ancestor of all later Brazilian violas), reco-reco ridged scraper, and clapping. Vocal style features a lead singer (the puxador) singing the verse with chorus response from the circle, with characteristic Yoruba-derived linguistic substrate in many of the older repertoires. Repertoire connects to the broader Afro-Brazilian Candomblé religious-context (the terreiro yard being the canonical performance space) and to the secular festive-cycle repertoire. The 2007 IPHAN nomination dossier (Carlos Sandroni and Sant'Anna) and the Samba de Roda de São Felix ensemble constitute the principal documentation.
