Samba-joia
Samba-joia (; also sambão-joia or simply sambão) is an old pejorative term coined by Brazilian music critics to designate a more romantic type of samba born in the 1970s. This is a format with a simpler rhythmic structure that dilutes the percussion, the main attribute of traditional samba. Described as an old-fashioned brega by critics, it was nevertheless a great commercial success for romantic artists such as Agepê, Benito di Paula Uday Vellozo, with stage name of Benito di Paula (born November 28, 1941), is a Brazilian singer-songwriter, composer, pianist and writer.
