For every festive occasion and especially the carnival festivities (Rio de Janeiro) samba music is played. The World's Fair in New York (1939) was the reason to the biggest spread of the samba. The trumpet section gets an opportunity to feature in Ever so Samba. Together with the swinging percussion section they let you enjoy a South American party.
