Call and response is common not only in Samba music but in many forms of jazz and even popular music. It is when an instrumentalist or singer will play a phrase, and either another member of the band or the audience will repeat that phrase back or at least a variation of the phrase.
Check out Cab Calloway's "Minnie the Moocher" from The Blues Brothers Soundtrack and watch his interaction with the audience. Though this isn't Samba music, it's the same idea for call and response.
For some call and response where two musicians go back and forth, but vary their responses, check out Béla Fleck and the Flecktones: Live at the Quick. The song "Big Country" has some fantastic call and response between Victor Wooten on bass and Jeff Coffin on sax.

∙ 7y agoCall and response in music is when two or more singers do something similar to a round about, but lyrics are changed with each "echo". The best example I can think of is Glory of The Lord from Messiah. I'm singing it in my upcoming Christmas concert and was explained this multiple times. It was hard for me to pick up, but you can notice it after some time. In the song, preferably focusing near the beginning, The Sopranos and Tenors of the song do a call and response in a very cool and flowing fashion, this helped us in our timing and taught me a bit more about music. If you haven't heard of Glory of The Lord, I'll gladly supply a link to you, that supplies sheet music and lyrics so to can easily spot the call and response. Just remember: Sopranos and Tenors.
