∙ 16y agoSamba'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.

∙ 12y agoI can't really say much for other cultures, but in the Chinese orchestra there has been the addition of western instruments like the cello and double bass. They also have reconstructed instruments (meaning the original art of making the instrument was lost but now they just do an approximation of the original) that were influenced by western instruments e.g. konghou. Even the concept of a 'Chinese orchestra' is based on the western orchestra (for example having the strings as the largest section, and only a few each of the other instruments) only with Chinese instruments used.
