Samba-rap

Samba-rap is a fusion of samba and hip hop music. One of the first to propose a fusion was rapper Sabotage. Other artists exploring the genre are Marcelo D2, Rappin' Hood and Emicida.

Interestingly, what is considered the first rap recording in Brazil may also be the earliest example of samba-rap. In 1964, singer Jair Rodrigues released the samba song "Deixa Isso Pra Lá" ("Never Mind"), which featured rhythmic spoken vocals that many music historians and critics recognize as a precursor to Brazilian hip hop.
