The Bahian actor Wagner Moura 47, showed the hosts of an American TV show how to dance samba in Bahia , with small movements. The scene was broadcast last Wednesday (24) on CBS. Watch the video below.
Moura was interviewed by Akbar Gbajabiamila and Amanda Kloots on “The Talk Show” about the film “Civil War”, in which he plays the protagonist Joel.
He was invited to show Brazilian rhythm movements after using a matchbox to simulate the sound of samba.
When dancing “samba miudinho”, Wagner Moura explained that this is the most common way of dancing in Salvador, the city where he was born, and that it differs from Rio samba, which has wider movements.
“That’s how we samba in my city, Salvador. In Rio, things are bigger, but in Salvador it's 'tiny'”.
The presenters tried to imitate him, but without being able to samba effectively.
The audience applauded the actor as he danced. On social media, he also received praise from internet users.
The film “Civil War” has been showing in cinemas since April 18th, and Wagner Moura has received praise from international critics for his performance.
