From Wikipedia
Samba funk is a musical subgenre that fuses Brazilian samba and American funk. It originated in the late 1960s by pianist Dom Salvador and the Brazilian band Grupo Abolição (which later gave rise to Banda Black Rio) and based on a blend of the binary measures of samba and the quaternary measures of funk, which had recently arrived on the Brazilian music market.
Brazilian singers and bands such as Tim Maia, Jorge Ben and Banda Black Rio have also pioneered into the genre.
