Samba de breque is a subgenre of samba that emerged in Rio de Janeiro between the late 1930s and early 1940s.[1][2]
The main characteristic of the subgenre is "breque", a Brazilian term for "brake".[3] In other words, it is a samba with sudden stops, usually of a humorous character, in which the singer makes spoken comments.[2][1]
The singer Moreira da Silva consolidated himself as the great name of this style of samba. The first success of the subgenre was "Acertei no milhar", a samba by Wilson Batista and Geraldo Pereira.[4][5]
