History:
The maxixe, occasionally known as the Brazilian tango, is a dance, that originated in the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro in 1868, at about the same time as the tango was developing in neighbouring Argentina and Uruguay. It is a dance developed from Afro-Brazilian dances (mainly the lundu) and from European dances (mainly the polka).
The maxixe was one of the dances that contributed to samba dance styles (such as samba de gafieira) and lambada.
