Roda de Samba

User Ivan Martins changed Samba de Roda, in the text, to Roda de Samba. I'd like to clarify that Samba de Roda was what was intended; if you, Ivan, are unfamiliar with it, it is a tradition that developed in conjunction with other traditions of the Recôncavo Baiano such as Maculelê and Capoeira, and as such is often performed alongside one or both of them at public performances.

I don't know too much about Rodas de Samba other than the simple things that can be implied from the name -- a group of sambistas in a circle playing samba, possibly with people inside the circle, dancing. I don't know, therefore, if that formation should be properly called a roda in the same sense. If you feel it should, and information should be added about it, by all means go ahead and add it, but please don't remove the information about Samba de Roda.
