ABSTRACT
This article aims to situate samba under the prism of postcolonial, criticism that allows an approach to black culture as a challenge to modernity. It should be noted that the article was organized from the following problematizing questions: black style, black body and micro-Africa. I defend a rearrangement on historiography that dealt with samba. That their origins are found in Bahia and Rio de Janeiro and Bahia is already known; what is needed is to observe that the samba map is dilated, fluid and multidirectional. From this rearrangement, we intend to think of the city of São Paulo displaced from the buzzword that has always been attributed to it, as a tomb or something similar, when it comes to samba.
