Give me a little history on Salvador?
The legacy of the slave trade is also reflected in the population. Modern Salvador is a city of 2 million, the third largest in Brazil, and approximately 80 percent of its people are of Afro-Brazilian descent.
This heritage has had an enormous influence on Salvador's culture, food, religion, and especially its music. The last 15 years have seen an explosion in music that draws on African influences. A new term has been coined to describe an Afro-Brazilian blend of upbeat dance music: axé, from the Yorubá word for energy. Musical groups such as Olodum and Timbalada have blended complex African drumming rhythms with reggae melodies, while adding a dose of social activism to the mix.
In recent years Salvador has made a serious play to usurp Rio as the biggest Carnaval site in Brazil. Over a million people now come out to dance and revel their way through the city's streets. Salvador may soon claim to hold the biggest street party in the world.
