This is the Carioca musical genre par excellence, since it has become one of the most representative of this South American region and its dance stars in the famous Brazilian carnivals. Its origins date back to the time when Africans were brought to the American continent to work; since it was they who introduced this style of music that soon began to spread.
- Lambada
This term comes from the Portuguese word used to describe the movement of a whip and was created in the 1970s. The lambada is made up of influences from cumbia and merengue; It is based on the carimbó (large African drum) and the guitar. Later, salsa, merengue and reggae were introduced in the lambada and made it a couple's dance

In 2019, the sector moved R $ 322 billion out of a total of R $ 7.3 billion. If the participation of agro-industries (such as slaughterhouses) and the service sector of the activity (such as freight transport) is taken into account, agro-industry as a whole represents at least 20% of Brazilian GDP. ]]> 2020-09-14 13:05:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mariamedicis28/z8ebaqwu1ogzhvq8/wish/743714162 COVID - 19 mariamedicis28 https://padlet.com/mariamedicis28/z8ebaqwu1ogzhvq8/wish/743771594 Brazil is heading for the worst economic crisis in its history
The combination of political instability and health catastrophe threatens to become explosive for a faltering economy. Indicators and projections suggest that this will be the worst recession that Brazil has ever experienced.
The optimistic climate is fading in the Brazilian economy as the death toll from COVID-19 rises. If before the pandemic there was some skepticism about the country's economic recovery, now there is no doubt that Brazil is going to sink in 2020.
