The maxixe (pronounced ma-shi-sh), occasionally known as the Brazilian tango, is a dance, with its accompanying music, that originated in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in the 1870s at about the same time as the tango was developing in Argentina and Uruguay.
Like the Tango, the Maxixe travelled to Europe and the United States in the early years of the twentieth century.
The music was influenced by various other forms including the tango, lundu, polka and habanera, and is danced to a rapid 2/4 time.
The Maxixe was one of the dances that contributed to the samba and lambada.
