What instruments are in samba music?

The most important instrument in a band is the one that sets pitch. Pitch tends to be set by keyboard, be it piano or the synthesizer of rock bands. But some bands may not have keyboard. A rock band without keyboard sets pitch by its lead guitarist. Its drumplayer sets the secondary and tertiary concerns of rhythm and tempo. A strictly brass band sets pitch by its most important instrument, the trumpet. A strictly military band sets pitch by the oboe. A strictly string band sets pitch by the first violin.

How has samba music influenced western music?

Samba's greatest influence on Western music is quite possibly the fusion of "latin jazz". As the name suggests, latin jazz is a blend of latin styles (primarily samba and bossa nova) and Jazz Music. This blend of samba and jazz was made popular by the music of Chuck Mangione.Another possible influence of samba on Western music is the increase in the use of polyrhythms in percussion, especially the drumset. Since the samba bands combine several different percussion instruments all playing different, but usually regular repeating patterns, as samba became more popular in the music of North America drummers had to adapt by approximating the sound of the samba batucada instruments in the drumset (i.e. the surdo was replaced by the bass drum and the repenique was replaced by the snare drum).This style of playing several different, sometimes conflicting, rhythms on the drumset became more common in other types of American music such as rock, fusion and jazz.
