Overview

The film gives the greatest geniuses of Samba a voice, gathering them in their day-to-day lives and in their genuine "pagode de terreiro" (jam sessions) for the delight of the musicians themselves. Whether by showing their life stories or revealing how they live today, the documentary weaves a patchwork of the past, present and future of Samba.
