Program Note

Those who play samba music and dance samba are called “Sambistas.” SAMBISTAS is about the Sambistas living in Korea, not Brazil. At the center of it is the Brazilian percussionist Valtinho Anastacio. After visiting Korea for a performance in 2014, he stayed here for 14 years interacting with Korean musicians. The film joins the scene of friendship that he and the Koreans shared through Samba, and it still participates in meetings where they get along in love with Samba, even after he left Korea. A man has never been to Brazil but runs a Brazilian restaurant and lives his daily life to the samba rhythm. He emphasizes that Samba is a culture, not just music, and this film testifies to his words. (NAM Da-eun)
