Samba-rap is a fusion of samba and hip hop music. One of the first to propose a fusion was rapper Sabotage. [1] Other artists exploring the genre are Marcelo D2, [2] Rappin' Hood and Emicida. [3]
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.
