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.
