It takes us through some of Sambs’s unsung origins, tracing it back to the Indian and African roots that are so predominant in the country's Northeast. Moro no Brasil then takes us through Forrò, Frevo, Samba, rap and funk, through the eyes of the real Brazilian people who play the music and enjoy it on their daily lives.
