“São Paulo is the tomb of samba...”
Roberta Sá performs Samba de Arerê like she’s pouring filtered coffee in a mid-century modern living room in Jardins.
No drums, no sweat, no swing — just tastefully dead.
It’s smooth, it’s tasteful, it’s musically correct — but let’s not kid ourselves: this isn’t samba.
Samba de Arerê was born with Fundo de Quintal, in backyard jam sessions full of groove and soul. Not curated for the art collection of São Paulo’s old-money elite.
