Synopsis

The evolution of the carioca samba beat since the beginning of the 20th century is the theme of this film. The process of introducing percussive instruments and their transformation to give rhythm the peculiarity it assumes in Rio de Janeiro is detailed. With rare exceptions, musicians, composers and percussionists from the world of samba, without musical training, are intuitive talents, who do not write scores, which increases the importance of recording this memory, guided by masters such as Marçalzinho, Monarco and Wilson das Neves.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 2

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
