Very informative but also very outdated.

The only good thing about this video is the information it brings to the viewer. It talks about anything about the Brazilian culture that has to do with the music itself. However, the one thing that was very disapointing to me was the fact that this video was very outdated. It seems to have been made in the late 70's. As some of you know samba has changed quite a bit since then with the influence of rap and hip hop. Don't expect any modern images of Brazil or of samba musicians from this movie. I do not think this video is ideal if you want to use it in the classroom. But, then again considering that there are not that many documentaries about this music form, this video contains a wealth of information for those who want to learn more about samba.
