Integrating detailed research on structural aspects of the samba, this article proposes a related approach in which only the rhythmic configurations of the basic ideas (Caplin 1998) of 500 selected sambas are focused. Based on an original theoretical model and a group of computational tools specially developed for the analytical tasks, the study examines the rhythmic construction of the selected passages, considering different levels of organization, as well as their combinations. Graphs and comparative charts provide a new, systematic view on the samba rhythm, also listing some hypotheses that will feed future studies.
