I don't like the Samba; it's nonsense. With a lot of these Latin dances I can't really understand what they're all about. I like the Rumba and the Paso Doble but the others I could take or leave. -- Anton du Beke

There is no point to samba if it doesn't make you smile. -- Alma Guillermoprieto
[ on the "tropicalization" of intellectual property laws ] To make the digital world join in the samba... -- Gilberto Gil

Our past as well as our future. It could have been completely destroyed when we were brought to the New World as slaves. They even took away our drums.

Blues, samba, calypso, reggae, jazz, salsa, Africa is everywhere. -- Randy Weston
