Bahia's most famous drumming group is Olodum. Many say the group invented the samba reggae sound. But Olodum is not only a musical group. Its members have also created local organizations to help young people and the poor. Every year in the city of Salvador in Bahia, the lively sounds of samba reggae fill the streets during Carnaval -- one of the world's greatest parties.

Samba is one of Brazil's most popular music and dance styles. In many ways, it is a symbol of the country itself. In the words of one of modern samba's main artists, Seu Jorge, "Samba is our truth, our peculiarity... and our flag." When people today hear the word samba, they often think of the festival of Carnaval and the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro.
