SAMBA LADIES presents women as the driving force that propels the samba and contributes to making it the greatest and most representative Brazilian Popular rhythm. It honors anonymous as well as well known ladies that have marked their names on this cultural pantheon, a major Brazilian cultural manifestation, from composers and singers to dancers and "queens."
