"100% Samba" written by Rogê and Arlindo Cruz, is a vibrant and heartfelt tribute to the roots of samba and its profound impact on Brazilian culture. The song takes listeners on a journey, tracing samba's origins from Angola to Brazil, where it evolved into an iconic Brazilian art form, embraced by people from all walks of life. This transformation is poetically expressed in the lyrics of the song, highlighting the genre's deep cultural integration, while the music and production take samba itself, in an exciting new direction.

Veio de Angola pro nosso terreiro
E se tornou um mulato inzoneiro
Viva a viola, cavaco, pandeiro
Trilha sonora que o Mundo inteiro
Samba, samba
É 100% povo brasileiro
Samba, samba
É 100% povo
E quando o dia amanhece que a gente percebe
Que esse é o futuro do nosso país
Na batucada a noite virou madrugada
Vendo esse povo que sabe o que diz
Samba, samba
É 100% povo brasileiro
Samba, samba
É 100% povo
