Explain how samba music is part of the carnival?
In Rio Carnival each samba school has drummers drummers that play the samba, the singer sings a samba song song to the rhythm and the dancers dance to its rhythm. So the samba music is what holds the whole of a Rio Carnival parade together.
Why was samba music first called 'samba de roda'?
Samba music was never called 'samba de roda'. Roda means 'circle formed by people', and it was more commonly used in capoeira, during the slavery. Samba de Roda is something under the influence of capoeira and samba, samba is the dance (as you may guess), but it's done in a roda with characteristic instruments of capoeira and Brazilian culture: Berimbau, Pandeiro, Atabaque etc. So, Samba de Roda has its own music with its own type and own characteristics and different from its original.
When was samba music invented?
Usually atleast when we are talking about big genres in music there isn't one single individual that has "created" the musical genre. So one might say that samba music (or some other) was developed in some area (here it might be Brazil) or among a specific group of people (musicians) during one period of time (this one would be maybe between 19th and 20th centuries)

Where does Samba music come from?
t is normally fast and has a fast beat and tempo. Actually samba can also be slow. What makes it sound different from other types of music is the specific samba swing. By this I mean not speed or enery or tightness, but the fact that half of the notes in a bar always fall slightly off the beat, in a very consistant pattern. The swing stays the same throughout all of the instruments and variations of patterns, and is held by the melody too. It is the swing that gives samba its addictive feel. The samba swing is not the same as Jazz or latin swing, which have different offbeats. The swing cannot be annotated by conventional means so you can't learn it by reading musical notation, but you can hear it clearly in samba recordings. It derives from the African origins of samba music, which grew out of a complex mix of African music, marches and the polka. There is some great historical material on Youtube - try looking up anything by Clara Nunes, or Cartola. The modern samba schools in Rio play a much faster samba with more emphasis on percussion - you can also find these well illustrated on youtube - search for "ensaio tecnico na avenida". This bateria samba is so fast you can hardly hear the swing but it's there - without it the music would just sound like a march. Not all Brazilian traditional music is samba, there are many other styles such as Maracatu and samba reggae which sound quite different, having a slightly different swing, different orchestration and a very different cultural tradition.

Why is today's music so inappropriate?
Its not.
What type of music is clave?

What is the national dance in Brazil?
The "Samba" is the most popular and most practiced dance in Brazil, but it isn't considered "official" because there are a multitude of folkloric dances spread throughout Brazil. Immigrants brought their traditions to Brazil, including dances, so we can say that Brazil is the country of dances and musics. Considering the fact that "samba" is the most known Brazilian dance allover the world, on this sense, it could be considered an "official" dance. The dance and the rhythm has been brought to Brazil by African slaves at the time of slavery in our country. However, at that time the dance was somewhat different from the today's rhythm.
