[ThugOShadow]

Giants of Latin feat. Masalsa - Quimbara, Quimbara

[Sharp3000]

is not samba is caribean music. I already gave of the song.

[AceyBlade]

It's by the ballroom latin definition a samba since the song meets the rhythmical and tempo requirements.

[Sharp3000]

is not samba lady. Is a song from cuba. Samba is from Brazil.

The name of the song is bellow.

[AceyBlade]

I know what song this is, but it's irrelevant.

[FaFPooH]

There were Aneta Piotrowska & Derek Hough!!

Big applause for them as they are simply the best!! Good job :)

[cesz001100]

I cant see Franco and Oksana here?

I can only see Mauricio & Melinda,

the Filipos,

i think Rashel & Heron-she moves like ANA from Russia,,, but she stop dancing last 2005

[Legris99]

Rachael Heron hasnt stopped dancing actually!

She recently came in the top 24 @ the UK Pro

with her new partner Ryan Mc Shane!

[cesz001100]

The filipos so conservative in choosing competition costume, its so redandunt in design the diference is only the color but they are #5 in world ranking, good job

[ssouldancer]

tatiana lavinovich...omg annalisa di fillipo melinda...i luv this video!!!!!!!!

[AceyBlade]

ROFL! You have no idea what you're talking about do you? This is samba. The music is Celia Cruz's Quimbara, only a slower tempo since the original is salsa.

[Sharp3000]

Sorry but this is not samba. This sound more like caribean music.

[cesz001100]

Then your choice wouldnt be latin,,, IDSF wont play such music if and when it is not being approved and CERTIFIED by the commitee!

[Sharp3000]

Celia cruz is from Cuba dear

Samba is from Brasil .

[Caskader]

Good point

[AceyBlade]

A cuban musician can't do brazilian songs or play brazilian rhythms? Right.

[Sharp3000]

First you have to know what Brazilian Samba is dear . Celia Cruz never did Brazilian Samba .If you want to learn what is Brazilian Samba you should visit Brazil. Plus I did play in a Brazilian School of Samba in Brazil and I'm telling honey, The music above is not Samba. Plus the away people dance is totally of beat.

[Sharp3000]

Plus those people dancing are all off beat. You have to follow the beat of the drum in the background.

[ballroomdancer901]

umm, they aren't dancing brazilian samba. hav u ever heard of ballroom samba? there is more than one form of samba.

[Sharp3000]

the basic thing about dancing is to be able to follow the bit of the music. Just because you can make hard moves does not mean your are dancing dear. Plus the top Ad for the video say Samba.

Another thing. Just because someone choose to call something ballroom samba ,that does not mean that it is even close to samba. This kind of "dancing" is just off bit dancing .

[PoliticalGuy22]

Um DEAR since you love to use that word, the BASIC thing about this particular SAMBA is it is in ballroom latin form, which means it is different then the Samba dance traditionally in Brazil, what is so hard to understand about that? Why can't one appreciate both without the criticism. I would love to see you TRY and dance against those phenominal dancers in the vid! Case closed!

[Sharp3000]

Even the music that is playing is not samba. I already explain bellow that the song is from Cuba. Caribbean music. About the dancing.

The main idea in ANY KIND of dancing is follow the bit with the step for every bit of the drum.

If people can not figure out that I'm very sorry for then.

[AceyBlade]

"which means it is different then the Samba dance traditionally in Brazil, what is so hard to understand about that?"

This.

"The main idea in ANY KIND of dancing is follow the bit with the step for every bit of the drum."

So you'd apply this to Paso Doble and say Waltz for example? Or perhaps Ballet? Don't talk about things you don't know about. In this case, international latin.

[angooo1]

Yes, you have a right.
