Partido Alto
Partido Alto is a vibrant subgenre of samba that thrives on its infectious call-and-response structure and lively, syncopated rhythms. Originating from the Afro-Brazilian communities of Rio de Janeiro, it emphasizes spontaneous lyrical improvisation, often with a playful or socially conscious twist. Characterized by its percussive drive, typically led by the pandeiro, Partido Alto invites both performers and listeners into an engaging musical dialogue that celebrates community and cultural expression.
