The music of Brazil is the country's most brightly shining star. Originated from a blend of various cultures, its rhythimic authenticity and complexity can be heard in every one of its diverse styles. At the time of Brazil's discovery, the European rhythms (Portuguese, Italian and German) mixed with the African beat, and tempered with the creativity of the indigenous people, resulted in an elaborated mixture of rhythms that has been branching out ever since. The native styles, blended with the rhythms brought in from various cultures contributed for the aperfectioning of the authentic brazilian music.Today, the diversity of rhythms is so great that one can find styles and interpretations for all tastes, without losing its originality.
